NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are opening higher on Wall Street Friday at the end of another turbulent week.
The Dow and S&P 500 are each up more than 1%.
The gains, if they hold, would mark the first back-to-back advance in more than five weeks.
Following several punishing drops, major indexes are still on track for heavy weekly losses for the second week in a row.
Investors are weighing the likelihood that the global economy is entering a recession because of the massive shutdowns and layoffs caused by the coronavirus outbreak against steps by central banks and governments to ease the economic pain.
