The S&P 500 and Nasdaq indexes enjoyed gains on Friday, fueled by rising technology stocks, particularly Netflix, whose shares surged after exceeding subscriber growth expectations.

Shares of Apple and Nvidia also contributed to the positive market momentum, with Apple benefiting from increased iPhone sales in China and Nvidia from improved stock evaluations by analysts.
