Stocks showed remarkable resilience this week, recovering from yet another tech-led sell-off amid heightened volatility. Investor sentiment swung sharply between optimism and caution, influenced by strong corporate earnings, valuation concerns, and growing uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve’s next interest rate move.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.34 percent for the week, closing at 47,147. The S&P 500 finished essentially flat at 6,734, rebounding from the week’s low on Nov. 13.
