Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+1.16%) is up a clean 70 points this afternoon, just off highs on a modest dip in the last half hour.

Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Coinbase Global (COIN 344.59, +37.00, +12.03%), Dexcom (DXCM 86.42, +6.58, +8.24%), and Uber (UBER 91.74, +6.50, +7.63%) dot the top of the standings. COIN is today's top gain getter amid a rise in crypto prices, DXCM rallies behind comments from RFK Jr. who said the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is preparing to launch one of the largest campaigns in its history to promote wearable health devices, like continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), with a goal of universal adoption within four years. For its part, UBER's gains are driven by news that Lime, a company it backs, is preparing for a U.S. IPO, and by the launch of a driverless ride-hailing service in Atlanta with Waymo.

Meanwhile, Occidental Petro (OXY 42.33, -1.62, -3.69%) slides as oil prices dipped further on Tuesday in reaction to the widely covered ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran.
