[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.27%) is in second place on Friday afternoon, near afternoon highs on a slight uptick in the last half hour.
Elsewhere, S&P 500 constituents GE Vernova (GEV 197.63, +6.27, +3.28%), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE 19.25, +0.57, +3.05%), and Marathon Petroleum (MPC 175.84, +4.87, +2.85%) pepper the top of the average, outperforming despite a dearth of corporate news. Beaten down thus far this week, HPE and MPC's gains on Friday are good enough to claw the stocks out of what had been weekly declines.
Meanwhile, APA Corp (APA 28.48, -0.86, -2.93%) is near the bottom of the standings, lagging alongside fellow energy stocks.
