The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed the week at 16943.81, up 28.74 for the day.

The Nasdaq jumped 19.29 to close at 4415.49, while the S&P 500, despite a gain of 2.89 to 1967.57, saw its largest weekly drop since April.

As Investors start looking at corporate earnings reports for the second quarter, Wells Fargo reported net income of $5.7 billion, four percent higher than the second quarter of 2013. The success of such a large bank making money from mortgages, consumer loans and retail banking is typically a positive sign for the American consumers.
