It was a quiet end to another turbulent week. Thanks largely to a big jump on Tuesday, the market finished with a 2 percent gain for the week, recouping a portion of the steep losses from the week before.
The major indexes headed lower at the opening of trading on Friday, as falling oil prices pulled oil and gas companies down.
The economic news wasn't encouraging, either. A reading on consumer confidence this month sank to its lowest level since September of last year.
