How major US stock indexes fared Friday

The stock market ended a second straight day of turbulent trading with more losses Friday, but managed to recoup some lost ground by the end of the day.

The S&P 500 finished with its first weekly loss after five weeks of gains. Technology stocks were again the focus of the selling, and big names like Facebook, Amazon and Google’s parent company ended lower.

The selling followed a Labor Department report showing that U.S. hiring slowed to 1.4 million last month even as the nation’s unemployment rate improved to 8.4% from 10.2%.

U.S. markets will be closed Monday for Labor Day.
