How the Dow Jones industrial average did Friday
NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market logged its first weekly loss since early August on Friday after a report showed that retail sales in August rose more than economists had forecast. That reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve could start hiking interest rates sooner than expected.
Dividend-rich utility stocks and energy stocks led the losses.
