NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street is drifting toward the close of its worst month since April, and U.S. stock indexes are mixed following an economic report highlighting both encouraging and discouraging trends.

The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow Jones Industrial Average each faced significant volatility, reflecting broader concerns about inflation, tariffs, and a cooling U.S.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 finished an iota higher, less than 0.1%, after surrendering virtually all of its early gain of 0.9%. But that was just enough to break a four-day losing streak that had knocked the index off its all-time high.

U.S. stocks climbed on Friday after the latest inflation report aligned with forecasts, offering some relief to investors at the close of a turbulent week and month. The S&P 500 rose 0.3 percent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite gained 0.4 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 160 points, or 0.44 percent.
