[BRIEFING.COM] Not much has changed at the index level as the stock market crosses midday.
Action remains relatively stable at the sector level, with the slide in oil prices prompting broad market gains, while some more defensive-oriented sectors incur modest losses.
The consumer staples sector (-0.7%) is one such sector, with Casey's General (CASY 860.64, -34.50, -3.85%) pulling back after its most recent earnings report rocketed it to new all-time highs.
