U.S. stocks rose and regained more of their losses for the week.

The S&P 500 climbed 0.5% Thursday, continuing its rally after President Donald Trump called off tariffs on European countries that he said opposed his desire to have Greenland. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.9%.

Details are still sparse about the framework of a deal on Greenland that Trump said he reached with the head of NATO, and financial markets are still showing some signs of nervousness. Gold’s price rose, and the value of the U.S. dollar weakened against several foreign currencies.

The S&P 500 rose 37.73 points, or 0.5%, to 6,913.35.
