[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market continues to move higher, boosted by buy-the-dip interest after last week's declines.
More mega cap stocks moved up as index levels improved, inviting additional buying activity. Broadcom (AVGO 166.10, +1.23, +0.8%) and Meta Platforms (META 559.31, +5.01, +0.9%) are among the influential names in that respect.
Broad buying interest has small cap stocks coming along for the upside ride, leading the Russell 2000 to trade 0.6% higher.
