On Friday, American equities were struggling to extend their leap to a third day in a row, suppressed by a tumble in the energy as well as technology sectors at the end of a week, which has seen the market swing a lot.

The health and financial sectors (SPSY and SPXHC) held the market, adding nearly 0.4% each.
