[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.70%) is in last place among the major averages, up about 52 points.
Briefly, S&P 500 constituents J.B. Hunt Transport (JBHT 252.43, +14.63, +6.15%), TKO Group Holdings (TKO 195.50, +11.80, +6.42%), and Robinhood Markets (HOOD 80.89, +4.14, +5.39%) pepper the top of the standings.
