Wall Street stocks finished a topsy-turvy session solidly higher on Friday, surging in the final hour of trading and lessening the losses in a brutal week.

At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at 24,194.75, up 1.4 percent, after swinging more than 1,000 points during the session.

The broad-based S&P 500 gained 1.5 percent to 2,619.30, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index advanced 1.3 percent to 6,866.36. (AFP)
