[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.7%), Nasdaq Composite (+1.5%), and DJIA (flat) continue to move in a relatively stable range as tech stocks lead the market higher in the first session of an earnings-heavy week.
While much of the S&P 500 trades lower and market breadth remains mixed, with decliners outnumbering advancers by a 3-to-2 margin on the NYSE and advancers holding a narrow 11-to-10 edge on the Nasdaq, the Russell 2000 (+0.5%) is trading near session highs, suggesting that today's buying interest is not entirely concentrated among the market's largest stocks.
