[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.7%) and Nasdaq Composite (+1.3%) remain firmly higher amid the rally across tech, but some choppiness in the broader market has the DJIA (+0.3%) holding a more modest gain.
Microsoft (MSFT 410.99, -5.68, -1.36%) and Salesforce (CRM 182.21, -3.45, -1.86%) weigh on the index as software names put up mixed performances today, while Travelers (TRV 298.37, -4.88, -1.61%) and Visa (V 320.71, -2.86, -0.88%) reflect modest weakness shown across the financials sector (-0.1%) today, though there is relative strength across major banking names such as Goldman Sachs (GS 1056.81, +18.13, +1.75%).
