Stock Market Update

The stock market is now on track for a mixed opening as investors await key data releases after the open. In addition to the delayed release of the September Personal Income/Outlays report, the market is set to receive the preliminary reading of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index at 10:00 a.m. ET (Briefing.com consensus 52.0).

The major averages enter today's session with modest week-to-date gains, with much of the week spent ticking steadily higher after a retreat on Monday.
