Investors took profits on Friday while they could ahead of the weekend, explained Tom Essaye, founder of Sevens Report Research.

"We as Ukrainians believe that the truth is on our side, whether it's truth that you're proclaiming about the war and everything else, why would you want to hide it?," he said. Apparently upbeat developments in Russia's discussions with Ukraine helped at least temporarily send investors back into risk assets. Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a meeting with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko that there were "certain positive developments" occurring in the talks with Ukraine, according to a transcript of their meeting.

The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions.
