Wall Street ended 2021 on a weak note Friday, but still managed to end the year with big gains.
The S&P 500 slipped 0.3%. It wound up with a yearly gain of 26.9%, nearly as big as its gain two years ago, just before the pandemic set in.
The S&P 500 notched its latest record high on Wednesday, its 70th of the year.
Company profits came in strong this year as the economy reopened, but the fast-spreading omicron variant and the looming end of the Federal Reserve’s easy-money policies are overhangs for investors going into the new year.
