The Dow finished the week strong with a 448-point gain to secure a record close on Friday. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 jumped to record closes as well, with all three indexes securing their third-straight weekly wins. The 10-year Treasury yield rebounded today, too, as yesterday's shaky reopening sentiment appears to have been pushed to the wayside. However, investors are keeping a cautious eye on tightened Covid-19 restrictions in several countries as the delta variant continues to surge. Meanwhile, U.S. wholesale inventories climbed a better-than-expected 1.3% in May as demand picked up.

Gold, Oil Settle Week on a High Note

Oil prices closed higher for the second-straight day, thanks to the drop in U.S. oil and gas inventories. August-dated crude rose $1.62, or 2.2%, to close at $74.56 a barrel. For the week, however, the unresolved tension amidst the Organization for Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) still weighed on the commodity, and prices fell 0.8%. 

Gold futures rose today, as anxieties toward economic reopening still lingered despite the broad-market rebound, keeping investors close to the safe haven. August-dated gold added $10.40, or 0.6%, to settle at $1,810.60 an ounce for the day, and gained 1.5% for the week for its third-straight weekly gain, marking its biggest one-week jump in seven weeks.
