 U.S. stock-market benchmarks finished lower on Friday, booking weekly losses after a third straight drop in retail sales highlighted weakness in consumer spending at the turn of the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 177 points, or 0.6%, to 30,814, based on preliminary numbers. The S&P 500 slipped 0.7% to end around 3,768. The Nasdaq Composite slid 0.9% to finish near 12,999. For the week, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both fell 1.5%, while the Dow shed 0.9%. The disappointing retail sales data added to the urgency of further fiscal support. President-elect Joe Biden unveiled a proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus package on Thursday evening, but the bill has drawn widespread skepticism among analysts who question the package's viability. Investors also watched the unofficial start to corporate earnings season, with JPMorgan Chase reporting profits that beat expectations. However, revenues for Citigroup and Wells Fargo fell short of analyst estimates.

Invesco's S&P 500 Equal Weight Utilities ETF jumped 0.6%, and both the Vanguard Utilities ETF and the iShares U.S. Utilities ETF gained 0.5%. Stocks lost ground Friday after some analysts pointed out that an ambitious fiscal relief plan from President-Elect Joe Biden was likely to face an uphill battle in Congress, even as economic data continued to disappoint.
