[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.6%) and Nasdaq Composite (+0.6%) remain little changed from previous levels, while the DJIA (+0.7%) has caught up after trailing for most of the session.
Individual sector performance is strong, with eight S&P 500 sectors holding gains, though breadth figures are nearly even, suggesting some potential weakness under the surface. Advancers outpace decliners by a slim margin on the NYSE while decliners hold a slight edge on the Nasdaq.
Still, the major averages enter the final hour of trading with solid gains, pushing the S&P 500 and DJIA within 0.5% of their all-time highs.
