Mixed Stock Market Moves as S&P 500 Eases, Dow Gains on UnitedHealth

The stock market experienced a mixed session this Friday, with the S&P 500 retreating after reaching a record high earlier in the week. Investors cashed out some profits from the recent gains, causing the index to drop by 0.29% to close at 6,449.80. Conversely, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose slightly, driven primarily by UnitedHealth Group’s strong performance. The healthcare giant saw a surge in value after Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway invested heavily in the company, followed by Michael Burry and David Tepper making their own new investments.
