U.S. stocks extended their weekslong rally and the dollar resumed its slide Friday, capping a week of increased volatility. Major U.S. indexes were lifted by a new batch of strong corporate earnings reports and fresh data showing continued economic growth around the world, while intraday stock swings picked up slightly. The S&P 500 rose 33.62 points, or 1.2%, to 2872.87 Friday, surging into the close for its 14th record in January. That marks the most records for the S&P 500 in a single month since June 1955.
