Nine of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors closed higher, with communication services up 0.9 per cent, leading the gainers. Energy declined 0.66 per cent, the worst-performing group.

On the data front, US privately-owned housing starts jumped 16.9 per cent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.608 million units in December, the Department of Commerce reported Friday. Economists polled by Reuters forecast housing starts would increase to a pace of 1.375 million units in December.

Wall Street also paid close attention to corporate earnings.

The fourth-quarter corporate earnings season kicked off this week, with low expectations for profit growth. Earnings are expected to decline by 0.6 per cent for the S&P 500, Refinitiv estimated.

More than 8 per cent of the S&P 500 has reported quarterly results thus far, according to FactSet. Of those companies, 72 per cent have posted better-than-expected earnings.
