Stock Market Update

[BRIEFING.COM] The stock market had a mixed opening this morning, with the S&P 500 (flat), Nasdaq Composite (-0.2%), and DJIA (+0.3%) all trading near their baselines. 

Sector strength is relatively strong in the early going, as eight S&P 500 sectors trade above their baselines, though weakness in several of the market's largest names is substantial enough to keep the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite from seeing gains.

The information technology sector (-0.5%) is the top laggard, as shares of NVIDIA (NVDA 179.66, -2.11, -1.16%) traded lower after the open despite trading higher in the pre-market. The company's earnings report after the close today is one of the market's most anticipated events this week.

Meanwhile, the energy sector (+1.2%) is the top mover so far, benefitting from a $0.35 increase in the price of oil to $63.60, a change of 0.6%.
