Stocks are ticking higher as relaxing yields in the bond market take some pressure off Wall Street. The S&P 500 was 0.4% higher in early trading Friday. It’s on pace to close the week with a small gain, its first in the last four weeks, after finding some stability following a swift rise and fall to start the year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq composite also rose. Sharper moves may still be ahead in the morning when the latest data arrive showing how strong U.S. services industries were last month. Treasury yields moved lower.
