## SPY, VOO, IVV All Rose in Friday Trading
The [**SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)**](/SPY) ended the week on a high note, with a gain of 0.2%. That brings the ETF’s weekly gains to almost 4% and puts it just 1.9% below its all-time high.
Traders hoping for a retest of last week’s lows might be disappointed, but long-term investors are no doubt elated. With this week’s gains, SPY’s year-to-date return is back up to 18%.
The [**iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV)**](/IVV) and [**Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)**](/VOO), which also track the S&P 500, both rose 0.2% on Friday and are up about 13% year-to-date.

## ACES, ONLN Gain Despite Rivian Suspended Delivery of Vans to Amazon
U.S. stocks hovered near the flatline midday Friday, capping off what could be 2024s best week so far as the market continues its rebound from early August's downtown.
This follows stronger-than-expected retail sales data and a decline in weekly jobless claims.
Clean Energy ETFs faced headwinds after Rivian announced a temporary suspension of its commercial delivery van production for Amazon due to parts shortage.
The [**ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES)**](/ACES) fell 0.8%, while [**First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN)**](/QCLN) dropped 0.6%.
Despite the Rivian news, consumer discretionary and retail ETFs holding Amazon shares showed gains. [**Vanguard Consumer Discretionary ETF (VCR)**](VCR) rose 0.3%, while [**ProShares Online Retail ETF (ONLN)**](/ONLN) climbed 0.9%.
