The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 17.46 points, or 0.17%, to 10023.42, the S&P 500 gained 2.67 points, or 0.25%, to 1069.30 and the Nasdaq Composite added 7.12 points, or 0.34%, to 2112.44. The consumer-friendly FOX 50 picked up 4.34 points, or 0.56%, to 784.61.

Friday's resiliency, which was fueled in part by more weakness for the dollar, comes after the Dow soared 204 points a day ago amid upbeat economic reports and hopes the labor data would show job cuts slowed more significantly than they have. The benchmark index had been down as much as 69 points Friday morning before rallying off its lows.
