Stocks slip as investors take profits from rally
Wall Street eased on Friday as traders booked gains from a strong rally amid quadruple witching and thin data. Dow fell 14.31 to 9644.82, Nasdaq -3.85 to 1905.70, S&P -3.28 to 1036.30, yet weekly gains remained solid. Analysts cited cautious optimism about a rebound and strong earnings outlook while noting high valuations and data-driven support from housing and leading indicators. Major movers included FedEx, Palm, and AmerisourceBergen amid broker downgrades and FDA FBI probes.

Senate panel OKs GOP redistricting map in Austin
A Senate Jurisprudence Committee vote 4-3 approved a GOP backed congressional redistricting map, set to trigger a Senate floor showdown next week. The measure, paired incumbents Jeb Hensarling and Jim Turner and keeping McLennan Cameron Webb in single districts, could yield 18 or 19 Republican seats. Democrats argued the plan harms minority voting rights and dismissed the map as undemocratic while court challenges loom. The filing deadline for congressional candidates would also move to January 9.
