U.S. stock indexes are rising Friday as they head toward the close of their best week in two months. The S&P 500 was 0.9% higher in early trading and on track for its first winning week in the last three.

BMO Capital Markets forecasts the S&P 500 will reach 6,700, reflecting a gain of 13.2%. Chief investment strategist Brian Belski said he and his team "remain resolutely bullish," but expect "performance and fundamentals will more closely match the historical norms -- namely, in the high-single digit/low-double-digit percentage range in 2025."
