Stocks continued to march higher on Wall Street Friday, giving the S&P 500 its latest record high and its fourth straight weekly gain.

The S&P 500 rose 15.05 points, or 0.4%, to 4,185.47.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 164.68 points, or 0.5%, to 34,200.67.

The Nasdaq rose 13.58 points, or 0.1%, to 14,052.34.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 5.60 points, or 0.3% to 2,262.67.
