Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] There will be some extra interest in the Dow Jones Industrial Average this week, mainly because there will be earnings results shared by several components.

Home Depot (HD 384.21, -1.10, -0.3%) reports before Tuesday's open while NVIDIA (NVDA 134.21, -0.22, -0.2%) and Salesforce (CRM 310.01, +0.21, +0.1%) both report after Wednesday's close. These stocks are little changed at the moment, but have seen some decent intraday swings between their lows of the morning and their current levels. NVIDIA, for example, had been down 2.8%.

Currently, Nike (NKE 80.59, +4.09, +5.4%) is the biggest percentage gainer in the Dow today after being upgraded from Hold to Buy at Jefferies, which also issued a $115 price target.

Goldmans Sachs (GS 632.10, +6.50, +1.0%), which is the highest-priced Dow component, is lending an influential hand to the upside move by the Dow Jones Industrial Average today.
