[BRIEFING.COM] The three main indices exhibited limited upward movement over the last half hour.
The S&P 500 consumer staples sector is holding up okay, trading roughly flat, despite a solid loss in General Mills (GIS 64.05, -3.22, -4.8%) after a fiscal Q4 earnings report that included a revenue miss driven by lower prices and lower volumes.
Meanwhile, the heavily-weighted financial sector is among the worst performers, down 0.6%.
