Stocks recorded strong gains this week, led by a rally in technology shares as the signing of a peace deal between the United States and Iran pushed oil prices lower and helped calm fears of interest rate hikes.
For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.41 percent to close at 51,564. The S&P 500 closed 1.44 percent higher to 7,500, below the high reached earlier in the week. The Nasdaq Composite fared much better, up by 2.74 percent, while the Russell 2000 gained 2.01 percent.
