Stocks edge up as global worries linger on week’s end
New York stocks rose modestly Friday with the Dow up 34.59 points to 13,080.73 and the S P 500 and Nasdaq also inching higher. Bank of America led financial gains while home builders fell after a 1.6 percent drop in new home sales. Investors eyed a slowdown in Asia and Europe, higher oil prices, and mixed corporate results from Nike, Oracle, FedEx, and Tiffany, amid concerns about global demand.
