[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 is back in the upper end of today's 50-point trading range. That leaves it in positive territory for the session (+0.42%), but not for the week (-0.34%).
Barring a late meltdown, however, August will go down as a winning month for the S&P 500 (currently +1.68%).
The Nasdaq is fighting to get there. It is up 0.58% today, which leaves it up 0.1% for the month. That bid looks destined to come down to the wire.
With the afternoon uptick, earlier order has been restored. Just like the start of the day, 10 of the 11 S&P 500 sectors are higher. The only one lower is the energy sector (-0.5%), which was also the case at the start of the day.
