[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (flat), Nasdaq Composite (+0.4%), and DJIA (-0.1%) continue to improve to their best levels of the session as gains across the information technology sector (+0.9%) widen.
NVIDIA (NVDA 182.72, +5.53, +3.12%) is a mega-cap standout as investors step in on last week's retreat that followed a solid earnings report from the company, while Microsoft (MSFT 400.92, +8.18, +2.08%) also holds a nice gain amid strength across software names today.
The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF is now up 0.5%, with several other "magnificent seven" names now trading higher, including Meta Platforms (META 658.97, +10.79, +1.66%) and Tesla (TSLA 403.05, +0.54, +0.13%).
