S&P/ASX 200 Gains 0.9% in Choppy Week, Closes at 8,844

The S&P/ASX 200 advanced 0.92% over the full trading week to finish at 8,844.40 after a volatile path that included mid-week declines followed by a sharp 1.37% rally on the final session. Weak U.S. jobs data eased rate concerns and lifted gold miners, supporting the rebound. Ten of eleven sectors finished higher on Friday amid broad participation.
