  "summary": "Wall Street experienced a weekly gain on Friday, with investors focusing on upcoming third-quarter earnings and inflation data. The major US stock indexes advanced, logging weekly gains, while the small-cap Russell 2000 ended lower. Analysts expect energy and technology stocks to post the largest year-on-year earnings growth during the July-September period, with the S&P 500's annual earnings growth projected at 30.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all saw gains, with AI-related momentum stocks generally higher. However, telecom firms T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon dropped due to Elon Musk's SpaceX acquiring a nationwide low-band spectrum portfolio.",
