The S&P 500 booked its first weekly gain in three weeks, as broad advances across sectors helped offset a slide in retail stocks. Major indexes' moves were muted most of the week – mostly attributed to the dearth of major economic reports on the calendar and a lull in trading toward the end of August. The number of shares changing hands over a full session of trade on exchanges owned by the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq fell to their lowest level of 2017 on Wednesday, and hovered below average levels the rest of the week.
