Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.6%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.5%), and DJIA (+0.7%) are charting new session highs as the market enters the final hour of the session. 

While the major averages have recovered from their early losses, the small-cap Russell 2000 (-0.7%) remains pinned beneath its flatline, though its current week-to-date gain of 2.3% still bests its larger counterparts. 

The market's largest names, conversely, have improved throughout the session. The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF holds a 0.6% gain, with Tesla (TSLA 437.64, +8.89, +2.07%) and Apple (AAPL 252.46, +5.01, +2.03%) among the standouts.
