Equities wrapped up the month with modest gains. The Dow Jones Industrial average added 66 points on Friday to bring its May gain to 1.9%. The S&P 500 was up slightly Friday and eked out its fourth-straight monthly gain in May, rising 0.6% for the month. The Nasdaq shed about 1.5% this month. Markets are closed on Monday for Memorial Day.
While the U.S. equity market proved calm ahead of the long holiday weekend, a handful of so-called meme stocks popular with retail investors continued to gyrate in volatile trading. AMC Entertainment, for example, began the day up as much as 38% before erasing that gain and closing in the red. Shares of the movie-theater chain saw massive trading volumes evocative of the mania it and GameStop endured in January. The stock doubled this week.
