[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages are little changed from previous levels as they look to close in on another solid advance this week.
Today's gains leave the S&P 500 down just 0.2% for the month of November and the DJIA just 0.1% off of its unchanged month-to-date level. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite remains 1.9% lower on the month, largely due to a 4.6% slide in the technology sector this month.
However, today's current 1.6% gain in the tech sector has helped the major averages pad their week-to-date gains and put more distance between their current standings and their 50-day moving averages.
