[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.8%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.5%), and DJIA (+1.4%) trade near session highs with just half an hour left in today's session.
The S&P 500 has, however, encountered some resistance at the 6,770 level, which was the peak level the index hit last Thursday following NVIDIA's (NVDA 176.52, -6.03, -3.30%) earnings report, before a broad retreat ensued.
The index currently hovers about ten points beneath this level, though the information technology sector (-0.2%) sits near its best levels of the day, with a decisive move into positive territory likely to push the major averages higher.
