NEW YORK — U.S. stocks are drifting Friday as Wall Street heads toward the end of an unusually quiet week. The S&P 500 was up 0.4% in morning trading and on track to erase what had been a small loss for the week. This may be the first week in seven where the index at the heart of many 401(k) accounts moves by less than 1.5%, after swinging sharply first on fears about President Donald Trump’s trade war and then on hopes that he’ll relent on some of his tariffs.

WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve will likely keep its key short-term interest rate unchanged on Wednesday, despite weeks of harsh criticism and demands from President Donald Trump that the Fed reduce borrowing costs.
