NEW YORK
Google soared 16 percent, the most in more than seven years, and Facebook added 4.5 percent to a record. The Nasdaq Internet index gained 2.6 percent. The S&P 500's energy group dropped 1.1 percent as Chevron lost 1.4 percent and Chesapeake Energy sank 5.5 percent. Boeing slid 1.1 percent after saying it will revise its profit outlook amid higher costs to develop a new refueling tanker.
The Nasdaq composite rose 0.9 percent to 5,210.14, and the Nasdaq 100 index added 1.5 percent to a more than 15-year high. The S&P 500 climbed 0.1 percent to 2,126.64, within 5 points of its all-time high. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 33.80 points, or 0.2 percent, to 18,086.45, weighed by declines in Boeing and Chevron.
"We're now watching earnings come out, with the background of what's going on internationally," said Bill Schultz, who oversees $1.2 billion as chief investment officer at McQueen, Ball & Associates in Bethlehem, Pa. "It looks like Google had a good earnings report, so that's helping. There's nothing right now that looks like there's an impediment to pushing stocks higher or causing a selloff."
The S&P 500 closed 0.2 percent below its record and had its biggest weekly gain in four months. The Nasdaq composite marked its best weekly advance since October, up 4.3 percent.
