The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq on Friday closed at an all-time high, capping a week that had produced a decided uptrend as investors parsed a round of corporate results, economic data and the spread of COVID-19.

S&P 500, Nasdaq gain on Nvidia, White House stock incentive report
The S&P 500 ended modestly higher on Friday following strong earnings from Nvidia and a report late in the session that the White House was considering a tax incentive for Americans to buy stocks. "In an election year, especially when the president is getting backlash that the tax cut benefits only the rich, seeking a way to democratize the stock market to low income earners would be a popular manoeuvre," said Joseph Sroka, chief investment officer at NovaPoint in Atlanta. While the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed modestly higher, the Dow lost ground.

U.S. business inventories inch up 0.1% in December
Business inventories in the U.S. rose a slight 0.1% in December after a 0.2% decline in the prior month, the Commerce Department said Friday. The gain was in line with Wall Street expectations. Sales slumped 0.1% in the month. Retailer sales were flat. The ratio of inventories to sales, meanwhile, inched up to 1.40 in December from 1.39 in the prior month. That's how many months it would take to sell all the inventory on hand. One year ago, the inventory-to-sales ratio was 1.39. A smaller gain in inventories in the fourth-quarter relative to the July-September period subtracted 1.1 percentage points from GDP growth.

U.S. stock benchmarks Friday morning were edging slightly higher and looking to maintain strong weekly gains as investors weighed positioning heading into the weekend, amid the continuing spread of COVID-19, the illness derived from the novel coronavirus that reportedly originated in Wuhan, China last year.

For the week, the Dow and S&P 500 were on track for a weekly gain of at least 1%, while the Nasdaq was on pace for a gain of more than 2% over the period. China's National Health Commission reported 5,090 new confirmed cases in mainland China, bringing the total to 63,851. The number of new cases jumped sharply on Thursday after a change in the government's counting method.

U.S. import prices flat in January due to lower fuel costs
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The import price index was flat in January, as the falling cost of gas offset increases in non-fuel goods. Excluding fuel, prices of imported goods rose 0.2%, the government said Friday. The increase in import prices over the past 12 months slowed to 0.3% from 0.5%. If fuel is omitted, import prices have fallen almost 1% over the past year. The U.S. government on Thursday reported a small increase in consumer prices last month, with inflation growing just slightly faster than 2%. Other price barometers show inflation rising less than 2% a year, however.
