NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- U.S. stocks advanced in the holiday-abbreviated week as Wall Street continued to weigh economic impact from the surging COVID-19 infections while digesting a slew of economic data.
The three major averages finished higher on Friday with both the S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq closing at new records. The U.S. financial markets were closed on Thursday due to the Thanksgiving holiday. On Tuesday, the Dow jumped to its all-time high to end above the 30,000 mark for the first time in history.
