Wall Street does not hit the brakes. Buying dominates the session on the final day of one of the best weeks of the year for US equities, with all three major indicators down more than 5% since Monday.

In the oil market, a barrel of West Texas, a reference in the United States, falls to 133 dollars, while the ounce of gold remains at 1,850 dollars. In contrast, the return on the US 10-year bond falls to 2.71%.
