[BRIEFING.COM] The DJIA (+0.1%) has managed to reclaim its flat line, while the Nasdaq Composite (+1.4%) and S&P 500 (+0.7%) add to their early gains.
While the broader market has improved slightly, there is still a considerable amount of divergence between large tech stocks and the rest of the market, which leaves the S&P 500 Equal Weighted Index (-0.2%) in modestly negative territory. Outside of the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 (+0.1%) holds on to a slight gain, while the S&P Mid Cap 400 (-0.2%) has retreated from a positive opening.
