Hey Zuschauer, es ist Samstag, April 4th.

Unser Blick auf die größten Stockmovement der Woche und die News, die sie geführt haben.

Lass uns einsteigen.

Es war eine kurze Woche für die Märkte.

Große Stockverhandlungen wurden am Freitagabend geschlossen.

Die Stocks schlugen durch die Woche, als sie vermischte Signale über den Konflikt in Iran.

In the end, all three major stock indexes finished the week higher.

The Nasdaq led the way, closing up 4.4% on Thursday.

Both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average were also up about 3% for the week.

Brent Crude, the international oil benchmark, surged nearly 8% this week to finish at $109 a barrel, as hopes for a quick end to the Iran conflict faded.

But higher commodity prices didn't translate to gains for oil stocks.

Energy was the only sector in the S&P 500 to finish the week lower, falling more than 5% as investors worried about long-term supply.
