[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.2%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.1%), and DJIA (+0.2%) now sit higher across the board as the broader market continues to shake off its early weakness. 

The industrials sector (+0.8%) now holds a solid gain, with Southwest Air (LUV 54.37, +3.26, +6.38%) leading the advance after UBS upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral with a target price of $73.
