Health closed lower. T- Mobile gained after Reuters reported that it was close to agreeing tentative terms on a deal to merge with Sprint, whose shares jumped. The report also pushed up Verizon Communications and AT&T, both of which could benefit from having one less competitor. Pure Storage, Quantum and Seagate Technology advanced. CarMax jumped after quarterly earnings and revenue beat expectations. DaVita dropped after a Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation report questioned the company s revenue sources. Equifax jumped after plunging more than 30 percent in the wake of a data breach that compromised sensitive information of 143 million Americans. Apple closed lower over the week, making it the worst week ahead of an iphone launch since the original iphone was released back in The lackluster performance comes after less-than-stellar reviews on its new slate of product offerings.

European markets Most European markets advanced Friday thanks to the solid flash PMI readings for Germany, France and the Eurozone. However, optimism over the positive data was offset by geopolitical concerns as tensions between North Korea and the flared up again. The FTSE was up 0.6 percent, the CAC was up 0.3 percent and the SMI added 2.59 points. The DAX edged 0.1 percent lower.

In a speech in Florence, Italy Friday, UK Prime Minister Theresa May hinted at the departure from the European Union by March May said that it is impossible to have all the advantages of the single market with none of the disadvantages. Hence, a "creative" economic partnership was needed. The FTSE rallied in afternoon
2 trading Friday as Prime Minister May s speech in Florence disappointed currency traders, sending the pound sliding. Traders sold sterling as they deemed May s speech short on detail, and hopes of a plan on how Britain might keep preferential access to the single market were dashed. L Oréal rallied on speculation about the future of the company after billionaire Liliane Bettencourt died at the age of 94. Capita was lower after the staff represented by trade union Unite voted in favor of an industrial action. Smiths Group dropped after the conglomerate reported a fall in underlying full-year revenue. Telia was down in Stockholm after it agreed to pay a combined total penalty of more than $965 million to resolve charges arising out of a scheme to pay bribes in Uzbekistan.

The composite output index climbed to 57.8 from 55.8 in August. This was the highest reading since April France s flash composite reading climbed to a 76-month high of Asia Pacific Markets Asian stocks declined Friday as rising geopolitical tensions between the and North Korea as well as a rating downgrade to China's credit rating sent investors to safe haven assets such as gold, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc.
