Oct 25 (Reuters) - The main U.S. indexes rose on Friday, as Treasury yields slipped from the week's high and relieved the pressure on megacaps, and investors awaited quarterly results from some of Wall Street's biggest companies next week.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note dipped to 4.19% after rising as high as 4.26% earlier in the week.
The so-calledMagnificent Seven group of rate-sensitive stocks gained in early trading. Meta Platforms META.O was up 1.1%, Amazon.com AMZN.O gained 1.5%, while Nvidia NVDA.O advanced 1.2%.
Tesla's TSLA.O shares rose 3.1%, adding to a 22% surge in the previous session as investors cheered theEV-maker's strong sales forecast, which helped the benchmark index register its first daily advance of the week.
Shares of Apple AAPL.O reversed premarket declines and were last up 0.5%.
"The upward move in yields has paused for a bit, allowing the stock market to catch its breath and focus on company earnings, which by and large have been pretty good," said Ross Mayfield, investment strategist at Baird.
The week starting Oct. 28, the final stretch before the Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, promises to be crucial for Wall Street. This is when results from megacap technology firms including AlphabetGOOGL.O, Apple AAPL.O and Microsoft MSFT.O are also due, along with the nonfarmpayrolls report for October.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI rose 167.26 points, or 0.39%, to 42,541.62, the S&P 500 .SPX gained 39.11 points, or 0.67%, to 5,848.97, and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC gained 208.46 points, or 1.13%, to 18,623.95.
The Russell 2000 index .RUT, tracking the economically sensitive small-caps, was up 0.5%.
The benchmark S&P 500 and the blue-chip Dow looked set to snap their six-week winning streaks, with equities unsettled by the rapid rise in yields as Fed rate-cut bets unraveled on expectations of a stronger economic outlook.

Memory-chip-maker Western Digital's WDC.O shares leapt 8.8% after it topped quarterly profit estimates on Thursday, while health insurer Centene CNC.N advanced 11.9% after beating estimates for third-quarterprofit.
A mixed set of earnings across sectors and continued uncertainty around the U.S. election have also made investors cautious, thoughmarkets have started pricing in a second Donald Trump administration in recent weeks.
"We're so close to the election that it does feel like markets are in a bit of a holding pattern," Mayfield said.
