[BRIEFING.COM] There has been some sideways drift in the market, which is just fine because all that means is that the major indices are near their highs for the session.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is outperforming among the large-cap indices, aided by a strong showing from 3M (MMM 147.36, +6.33, +4.5%) after its well-received earnings report and gains in 24 of its 30 components.
UnitedHeath Group (UNH 521.56, +11.80, +2.3%), Home Depot (HD 418.17, +8.79, +2.2%), and Caterpillar (CAT 399.14, +14.53, +3.8%) are the biggest influencers for the price-weighted average.
