Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The Nasdaq Composite (-0.1%) sits just beneath its baseline, looking to join the S&P 500 (+0.5%0 and DJIA (+0.9%) in positive territory as the market enters the final half hour of the session. The DJIA now holds a slight 0.1% gain for the month, while the Nasdaq Composite is flat, and the S&P 500 holds a 0.3% loss.

Ten S&P 500 sectors trade in positive territory (and six boast gains wider than 1.0%), marking a strong reversal from early session lows, with the major averages once again benefitting from the persisting "buy the dip pattern."
