[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.04%) is narrowly lower now, moving back into the red after being in positive territory for a brief time in the previous half hour.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Insulet (PODD 308.81, +51.81, +20.16%), First Solar (FSLR 141.17, +7.41, +5.54%), and AES (AES 11.15, +0.33, +3.05%) pepper the top of the standings. PODD touches a near two-year high after last night's earnings beat.
Meanwhile, CrowdStrike (CRWD 409.09, -19.54, -4.56%) is one of today's top laggards, retreating to a two-week low on reports that prosecutors and regulators are investigating a $32 million transaction between CRWD and technology distributor Carahsoft, originally intended to supply software to the IRS -- which never received or purchased the products. The DOJ and SEC are probing whether CrowdStrike executives were aware of potential irregularities.
