Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages trade near their best levels of the day heading into the final hour of the session.

While the market has found strength across a variety of sectors today, the consumer discretionary sector (+1.0%) has spent the vast majority of the day as the top advancer.

Top-component Amazon (AMZN 222.18, -0.36, -0.2%) was down as much as 1.2% this morning, but has shed most of its early losses as mega-cap stocks have shaken off a sluggish start.

Meanwhile, Tesla (TSLA 309.01, +13.13, +4.4%) has led the mega-caps today amid reports that the company is awaiting approval for a Robotaxi service in San Francisco, while also planning on expanding the program into Arizona, according to a Bloomberg report.
