Stock market today: Alphabet and Microsoft jump to push Wall Street higher

Strong gains for Alphabet and Microsoft have the U.S. stock market on track for its first winning week in the last four. The S&P 500 rose 0.6% early Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was flat, and the Nasdaq composite was up 1.2%. Google's parent company jumped more than 10% after breezing past analysts' expectations for profit last quarter. Stocks have been under pressure this month as hopes wither for multiple cuts to interest rates this year. Another report added to the pile of data showing stubbornly high inflation, but it wasn't much worse than forecasts and markets took it in stride.
