There were 19 high-ranked companies from the Leaders List that hit new 52-week highs and were listed on the BreakOuts Page, versus 16 on the prior session.

PICTURED: The Dow Jones Industrial Average met resistance near its 50-day moving average (DMA) line and fell back near its 200 DMA line.

U.S. stocks finished mostly higher on Friday as strong earnings from Amazon.com supported risk sentiment. Meanwhile, Treasuries slumped as a stronger-than-expected monthly jobs report reignited concerns surrounding a faster pace of monetary policy tightening by the Federal Reserve.

Six of 11 S&P 500 sectors closed in negative territory, with growth-related groups bucking the downtrend. Consumer Discretionary outperformed, with Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN +13.5%) surging after nearly doubling analyst profit estimates. Meanwhile, Snap Inc. (SNAP +58.82%) soared as the social media company posted its first ever quarterly profit. Elsewhere, Clorox Co. (CLX -14.47%) gapped down as rising costs pressured its margins, and Ford Motor Co. (F -9.70%) fell following disappointing results.

On the data front, the Labor Department revealed non-farm payrolls increased by 467,000 in January, topping estimates of a 125,000 gain. The unemployment rate rose modestly to 4.0%, while wage inflation climbed 5.7% year-over-year, accelerating from December’s 4.7% annual increase. Following the report, the yield on the benchmark 10-year note jumped eight basis points (0.08%) to 1.91%, its highest level since December 2019. Meanwhile, the yield on the two-year note spiked 11 basis points (0.11%) to 1.31%, a peak not seen since February 2020. In commodities, West Texas Intermediate crude notched its seventh consecutive weekly advance, settling at $92.14/barrel, a new seven-year high.
