Apparently minimal movements for Wall Street stocks masked another wild week, capped on Friday with the long-awaited rescue of the US car industry.
General Motors soared 22.7 per cent to $4.49 on Washington’s move to grant the industry a temporary lifeline under the Troubled Assets Relief Program. Gains for Ford, which had said it did not require cash immediately, were more modest. It finished up 3.9 per cent to $2.95.
