Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] It is shaping up to be an exciting final hour, if only because it is nip and tuck to see if the eight-session win streak for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite is going to end.

Both are in negative territory now, but neither is down by much to make a positive finish seem out of reach at this point. Recall that yesterday saw a flurry of buying interest in the last 10 minutes of trade.

The energy sector (-2.2%) remains pinned at the bottom of the sector leaderboard; otherwise, there hasn't been much conviction on the part of sellers as losses for seven other sectors range from 0.1% to 0.3%.

The Treasury market has settled the cash session with the yield on the 2-yr note sitting right at 4.00%, down seven basis pints from Monday's settlement level.

The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.4% at 101.44.
