[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.2%) still posts a slight gain, though sector strength has wavered since the open.
Five sectors now trade in the green, with the consumer staples sector (+0.6%) emerging as the top performer so far.
A strong performance from PepsiCo (PEP 143.73, +8.38, +6.2%) is underpinning gains in the sector after the company beat EPS expectations.
