By Rodrigo Campos NEW YORK (Reuters) – Most U. S. stocks rose on Friday, bouncing back a day after the S&P 500 closed below its 50-day moving average for the first time in 2013, but IBM’s largest drop in eight years kept the Dow in slightly negative territory.

S. economy, while bearish technical signals added to doubts about the market’s strength. The S&P 500 broke below its 50-day moving average for the first time this year, suggesting the market’s recent uptrend could be losing momentum, particularly after two days of sharp declines this week.
