Wall Street caught its breath Friday after Thursday's rout.

The Nasdaq composite rose 1.09% to 24,579.42, and the S&P 500 added 0.31% to 7,376.86. The Dow slipped 0.46% to 51,285.73, and the Russell 2000 gained 0.89% to 2,754.11 [1].

Chipmakers led the rebound. Broadcom rose 4.9%, and Micron and Sandisk recovered part of their losses [2]. The VIX, Wall Street's fear gauge, fell 9.2% but stayed elevated at 25.58 [1].

The Associated Press said Wall Street's steadiness halted what had been a worldwide tumble for stocks, while Treasury yields held firmer after a strong jobs report [3]. Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi had each fallen about 6% after Thursday's U.S. sell-off [4].

The week went from a historic rally to a historic plunge in 24 hours. Next week brings the October inflation report, and with it the next big test for the Fed.
