[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.04%) trades just below its prior close after narrowing declines in recent trading.
Upside moves in the major indices coincided with some mega caps moving higher, either extending early gains or recovering from early declines. Microsoft (MSFT 410.24, +0.59, +0.3%), which traded down as much as 0.5%, is among the influential names in the space.
The overall vibe in the market is still negative, as evidenced by a 0.1% decline in the equal-weighted S&P 500.
