[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (flat), DJIA (-0.1%), and Nasdaq Composite (flat) sit in a mixed fashion on an uneventful Monday session. 

The health care sector (flat) spent much of the morning as the top-performing S&P 500 sector but has since seen its gains erased, with its largest component, Eli Lilly (LLY 699.69, -1.54, -0.22%), now facing a loss on the day. 

Meanwhile, the consumer discretionary sector (+0.4%) now leads the advancing sectors, as Tesla (TSLA 334.94, +4.38, +1.32%) sees the lion's share of what little mega-cap strength is around today. 

Elsewhere in the sector, Bloomberg reports that Starbucks (SBUX 92.66, +2.06, +2.27%) will raise salaries 2% this year as part of an initiative to improve customer experience within its stores.
