(Post-market US Stocks Stage Comeback! Dow Up Over 500 Points, But High Yielding Cloud Lingers; All Three Indices Post Weekly Losses)

U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining over 500 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices also saw modest increases, rising by about 0.43% each. Financial, healthcare, and materials stocks led the gains, while cryptocurrency-related stocks surged due to Bitcoin's strong rally.
