[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.20%) is in "first" place on Tuesday afternoon, down just 10 points.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Albemarle (ALB 54.02, -3.37, -5.87%), Moderna (MRNA 25.76, -1.04, -3.88%), and Deckers Outdoor (DECK 103.54, -3.61, -3.37%) dot the bottom of the standings. ALB caught some sell side target cuts this morning, while MRNA and DECK dip despite a dearth of corporate news.
Meanwhile, Palantir Technologies (PLTR 97.11, +4.49, +4.85%) is one of today's better performers, continuing momentum from Monday's +5.3% gain. The continued momentum is mostly due to reports out yesterday that NATO would adopt Palantir's AI-enabled Maven Smart System to enhance military capabilities.
