[BRIEFING.COM] It appears traders are returning from the
New York lunch hour with an appetite for equities. A renewed wave of
buying interest within the last 20 minutes, spearheaded by another
turnaround in the Tech sector, leaves the indices trading at afternoon
highs.
Be that as it may, while Tech's leadership is notable, the lack of
follow-through buying in the more influential Financials sector and
fact that not even the defensive-oriented Consumer Staples is catching
a bid, continue to act as offsetting factors.
