The Dow started, and now ended the week with triple-digit pops, securing its fourth weekly win in the last five. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq spent time on both sides of the aisle today, but ultimately finished lower for the session and logged back-to-back weekly losses. Elsewhere, the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) secured its lowest close since Aug. 1, as inflation data continues to pile up. 

OIL CLOCKS SEVENTH STRAIGHT WEEKLY WIN

Crude prices scored a seventh-straight weekly win, adding 0.5%, as global supplies continue to tighten. For the day, September-dated oil shed 37 cents, or 0.5%, to settle at $83.19 per barrel.

Gold prices fell, dragged down by the rising dollar and bond yields. December-dated gold lost $2.30, or 0.1%, to settle at $1,946.60 an ounce. The safe-haven asset lost 1.5% for the week, its worst since June.
