Good afternoon.
The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.76% while the Dow fell 0.44% at eleven forty-nine Eastern Time.
The S and P 500 gained 0.39%, and the Russell 2000 added 0.79%.
Earlier breadth was split: N Y S E decliners led, while Nasdaq advancers led.
Technology rose 1.29%, and industrials gained 1.19%.
Consumer staples fell 1.63%, and materials lost 1.70%.
Nvidia rose 2.90%, and Advanced Micro Devices gained 4.89% ahead of results after the close.
Apple fell 2.25%, and Palantir was down 2.93%.
September job openings rose to about 7.5 million, and factory orders increased 1.8%.
The 10-year Treasury yield was about 4.95%, and the V I X was near 20.8.
W T I crude was near $96 a barrel after a sharp morning swing.
Gold futures were about $3,941, and the dollar index edged up 0.09%.
Advanced Micro Devices reports after today's close, and midterm election results remain ahead.
The afternoon question is whether chip strength can keep the Nasdaq ahead as higher yields and narrow breadth push the other way.
