Stocks Stage Comeback at the End of a Jittery Week: Markets Wrap

Wall Street wrapped up a chaotic week with a turnaround in stocks after a selloff that whipsawed some of the most-speculative corners of the market, testing investors’ nerves after a torrid rally.

About 450 shares in the S&P 500 rose, with the gauge up 1%. Nvidia Corp. pared most of a plunge that earlier topped 4%. Bloomberg News reported US officials are having early talks on whether to let the firm sell its H200 artificial intelligence chips to China. The market also got an injection of hope as a Federal Reserve official suggested a rate cut remains a possibility.
