President Joe Biden spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping by phone late Thursday for the first time since February. A White House statement said the "two leaders discussed the responsibility of both nations to ensure competition does not veer into conflict."
Data released Friday showed the producer price index rose 0.7% in July from the month prior. It also jumped 8.3% on a year-over-year basis, the largest increase since November 2010. This suggests high inflation may persist while the pandemic places extra strain on global supply chains.
Dow Jones: Apple Stock Hit By Antitrust Lawsuit
Inside the Dow Jones, Apple (AAPL) and UnitedHealth (UNH) were among the worst performers with decreases of over 2% each.
Apple stock reversed lower and is on pace to notch a third straight day of losses. On Friday, the stock fell after a federal judge issued a decision largely siding with "Fortnite" developer Epic Games. The judge issued a permanent injunction that allows app developers to utilize third-party payment options in apps.
Apple currently prohibits developers from providing links that direct users from Apple's in-app purchasing. This has a positive impact on app-driven companies like Spotify (SPOT), Zynga (ZNGA) and Roblox (RBLX), which rose 1.9%, 2.3% and 7.7%, respectively.
UnitedHealth fell well below its 50-day line. This was the first unsuccessful test of this key area of support since June. Shares are now below a 422.63 buy point of a cup-with-handle.
Meanwhile, Nike (NKE) and Intel (INTC) bucked the downtrend and held gains of 0.9% and 1.3% each.
Growth Stocks To Watch
As for top growth stocks in the stock market, the Innovator IBD 50 ETF (FFTY) traded 0.3% higher, beating the major indexes. The ETF traded above a 50.06 buy point. Stocks outperforming in the index included Celsius Holdings (CELH) and TaskUs (TASK), which gained more than 6% and 5%, respectively.
Celsius Holdings, a fitness drink maker, became further extended from the buy zone of an 80.10 entry. Shares have gained momentum this week and are headed for a weekly gain of over 6%.
Affirm (AFRM) gapped up and soared more than 35% in heavy volume to its highest level since February. The stock showed strong June-quarter revenue and gross merchandise volume that beat expectations as its expanding merchant base overcame slowing growth. However, the company has reported four straight quarters of losses and is expected to have another annual loss.
The consumer financing firm's initial public offering in January raised $1.2 billion.
