Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The major averages are trading in a steady range near their session highs. 

Fair Isaac (FICO 1844.51, +59.83, +3.35%) moves higher again today after yesterday's announcement of a direct license program that allows tri-merge resellers to calculate and distribute FICO Scores directly to clients.

FHFA Director Bill Pulte stated in a CNBC interview that the program is a big win for Americans, though he noted that he has phone calls today with two of the three credit bureau CEOs, and his message to them will be to figure out ways to get more competitive.
