On Friday, the Associated Press reported mixed trading on Wall Street, while gold continued to hit records.

While the S&P 500 remained mostly the same, the Nasdaq Composite saw a tiny gain of .3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down. Most stocks, however, fell.

Intel dropped 17.6% even though the chip company reported results for the end of 2025 that exceeded analyst expectations, with forecasts low for January through March.

A supply shortage is affecting many stocks, and Intel expects to run into shortages before regaining production materials in the spring.
