[BRIEFING.COM] After fighting its way back into positive territory, the S&P 500 has spent the past 90 minutes hovering near its flat line. Similarly, the Dow and Nasdaq have held their recent levels.
Only three sectors (consumer staples, financials, health care) trade in positive territory as all three register gains between 0.4% and 0.7%. The health care sector is the top performer as biotech continues its recent run. The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB 182.79, +2.77) is higher by 1.5% today, and up 6.3% this month. Biotechnology has been among the top performers of the year as the ETF trades with a year-to-date gain of 33.5%.
On the downside, the materials sector is lower by 0.7%. Miners are among the notable decliners as the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX 29.18, -0.63) trades with a loss of 2.1% even as gold futures show little change.
