Oil pared some of this week’s notable gains on profit taking ahead of the weekend.

 

The U.S. dollar index saw slight gains as the euro fell a bit after an Italian bond auction did not go as well as hoped.

 

Treasuries rose as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P struggled to add to yesterday’s impressive gains.

 

Among the big names making news in the market Friday were RIM, Whirlpool, Merck, Chevron, MF Global, Sprint, HP, Ford, and General Motors.
