[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.02%) is comfortably in second place, down less than two points on the day.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Super Micro Computer (SMCI 53.72, +3.99, +8.02%), First Solar (FSLR 170.31, +9.47, +5.89%), and AES Corp. (AES 13.02, +0.44, +3.50%) dot the top of the standings. SMCI benefits from news that NVIDIA (NVDA 170.91, +6.84, +4.17%) will resume AI chip sales to China, while FSLR rallies on positive sell side commentary.
Meanwhile, State Street (STT 102.84, -7.19, -6.53%) is today's worst laggard after higher-than-expected expenses, a decline in net interest income, and no guidance boost overshadowed its earnings and revenue beat.
