[BRIEFING.COM] The Dow Jones Industrial Average (+0.08%) is at HoDs, up now about 35 points.
A look inside the DJIA shows that Salesforce (CRM 244.78, -3.09, -1.25%), Home Depot (HD 404.99, -3.91, -0.96%), and Caterpillar (CAT 428.84, -3.46, -0.80%) hold modest losses.
Meanwhile, Boeing (BA 231.69, 4.82, +2.12$) is atop the standings.

Elsewhere, U.S. Treasuries have advanced over the past two hours with longer tenors bouncing off their early lows while the 5-yr note and shorter tenors have built on their starting gains. The entire complex pushed to fresh highs after the U.S. Treasury started this week's note auction slate with a solid $69 bln 2-yr note sale. The auction drew a high yield of 3.641%, which stopped through the when-issued yield by 1.5 basis points. The bid-to-cover ratio (2.69x) was above average (2.62x) while indirect takedown (57.1%) was well below average (67.5%) once again.
