[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.2%) and Nasdaq Composite (+0.4%) trade at their best levels of the session, while the DJIA has managed to get back to its flat line.
The information technology sector (+0.4%) trades at session highs, due in part to Apple (AAPL 228.82, -0.53, -0.23%) narrowing its loss after being down 1.3% earlier in the session.
Breadth figures were slightly negative for most of the morning but now favor advancers over decliners by a roughly 13-to-12 margin on the NYSE and a roughly 21-to-20 margin on the NASDAQ.
