New York (AP) - The US stock markets went into the weekend with moderate losses on the “Witches' Sabbath”.

The Dow Jones Industrial rose to a record high of 30,343 points in early trading, but quickly slipped and turned into the red.

Ultimately, the US benchmark index fell 0.41 percent to 30,179.05 points.

This resulted in a meager profit of around 0.4 percent for the past week.

The market-wide S&P 500 initially climbed a record high on Friday, but also put it in reverse and closed with a minus of 0.35 percent at 3,709.41 points.

The Nasdaq 100 selection index also hit a high and then went down.

The tech-heavy index ended 0.11 percent lower at 12,738.18 points.
