[BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 (+0.5%), Nasdaq Composite (+0.9%), and DJIA (flat) are largely holding on to their solid early gains this morning.
Mega-cap stocks continue to provide solid leadership, with the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF now up 1.0%. The consumer discretionary sector (+0.7%) has moved firmly higher in recent trading as Amazon (AMZN 250.57, +3.90, +1.58%) has widened its gain, while Tesla (TSLA 350.96, -1.88, -0.53%) has cut its early loss in half.

Elsewhere in the sector, Airbnb (ABNB 161.32, +4.36, +2.77%) is one of the top-performing S&P 500 components after introducing a new tool that allows users to get travel recommendations from people they know, plan trips with AI, and book new services from meal delivery to baby gear.
