[BRIEFING.COM] After incurring modest opening losses, the S&P 500 (+0.2%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.3%), and DJIA (+0.1%) all trade in positive territory, with today's gains enough to establish new record highs for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite.
Sector strength has steadily improved since this morning's subdued opening, with the information technology (+0.7%), health care (+0.3%), consumer discretionary (+0.2%), and real estate (+0.1%) sectors now holding gains.
A handful of mega-cap names such as Apple (AAPL 255.08, +9.58, +3.90%) and Tesla (TSLA 440.70, +14.63, +3.43%) contribute to the modest index-level advance, though mixed performances elsewhere hold the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF to a modest 0.3% gain.
Meanwhile, smaller-cap indices such as the Russell 2000 (flat) and S&P Mid Cap 400 (-0.3%) lag the broader market, though they too are off of session lows.
Thus far today the market has displayed a resilience to break from its record-setting trend, with investors quick to buy the dip despite a lack of macro developments.
