[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (-0.1%), Nasdaq Composite (-0.2%), and DJIA (-0.1%) sit just below their baselines, with a notable improvement in semiconductor stocks helping the Nasdaq catch up to its peers.
The PHLX Semiconductor Index is now down just 0.8%, helping the information technology sector (+0.2%) move within striking distance of its unchanged level.
Meanwhile, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG 32.16, +1.39, +4.52%) is now one of the best-performing S&P 500 components after the Financial Times reported that Starbucks (SBUX 90.36, -3.22, -3.44%) has explored a takeover of Chipotle. The potential deal would be the largest restaurant takeover in history.
