[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.86%) is in second place on Tuesday afternoon, up about 64 points.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents Freeport-McMoRan (FCX 62.48, +3.69, +6.28%), O'Reilly Auto (ORLY 87.55, +3.02, +3.57%), and Constellation Energy (CEG 262.52, +9.02, +3.56%) are among today's top performing non-technology stocks. FCX rises amid gains in copper futures, ORLY rallies as investors view reduced Genuine Parts (GPC 117.61, -4.79, -3.91%) deal speculation and lower antitrust concerns as a positive for the company's standalone growth outlook, while CEG gains as sentiment continues to favor nuclear power providers positioned to benefit from AI-driven electricity demand.
Meanwhile, MSCI (MSCI 562.84, -62.27, -9.96%) is one of today's worst performing constituents following this morning's earnings miss.
