At present, the S&P 500 is down -0.04%, the DJIA is down -0.26%, and the NASDAQ is up +0.17%.

Industries doing well today include Life Sciences Tools & Services, Biotechnology, and IT Services. Industries showing weakness include Multiline Retail, Specialty Retail, and Tobacco. The VIX is up 0.20 to 12.66 after the previous close of 12.46. The total put/call ratio as of 10:30 AM was 0.78 (212,575/273,715). The advancers/decliners ratio for NYSE stocks is 1,348/1,385 while the advancers/decliners ratio for NASDAQ stocks is 1,673/1,134.
