Wall Street boosts on oil price drop and OPEC signal
Wall Street rose modestly as oil prices fell and Saudi Arabia suggested increasing OPEC output. The Dow added 29.10 to 9,966.74, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also rose, though the week ended with the Dow below 10,000 for the first time this year. Strong earnings eased some pressure on rate hopes, but uncertainty remains ahead of the election.
