The moves may not have been exciting to watch, but they've put the broad market on pace for its sixth straight weekly gain and at its best level in seven months.
Trade this week has kept a consistent pattern: stocks run into some morning selling pressure, but gradually work their way higher. In the first session of the week stocks finished flat, but in the past three they have managed modest gains.
In each of the past two sessions tech stocks have provided support. The largest sector by market weight advanced 0.7% yesterday and another 1.0% in the latest round of action. The sector's latest effort was led by the likes of Akamai Tech (AKAM 38.06, +3.62) and Visa (V 112.42, +4.07). Each posted an upside earnings surprise for the latest quarter. Cisco (CSCO 20.00, -0.43) also posted better-than-expected bottom-line results, but the stock still ran into selling pressure.
Shares of Whole Foods (WFMI 82.02, +4.09) won over market participants with its latest quarterly report. The stock helped lead the consumer staples sector to a 0.5% gain. In contrast, PepsiCo (PEP 64.27, -2.47) dropped sharply following its upside earnings surprise.
The positive correlation between stock prices and the euro has lessened in recent days. As such, the major averages moved little in response to the euro's 0.4% climb to a near two-month high of $1.33. However, the euro remains sensitive to headlines regarding a forthcoming austerity plan from Greece's politicians -- to little surprise the story was the topic of rumors again today.

That has kept the broad market near the neutral line. Action has been generally choppy and range bound since the start of the session.
President Obama is currently holding a press conference in which he discusses a recent settlement deal involving banks and mortgages. He has called the deal a "landmark event," but bank shares aren't showing much of a response to the comments. As such, the KBW Bank Index remains in the red with a modest loss of about 0.3%.

Tech stocks continue to outpace broad market action. The sector is now up with an impressive gain of 1.0%. Cisco Systems (CSCO 20.44, +0.01) had a weak start that forced the stock to a new weekly low, despite an upside earnings surprise in its latest quarterly report, but shares of the chip and communications technology bellwether have battled their way back to the flat line.

11:30 am : The climb by the S&P 500 has stalled just shy of positive territory. Should stocks enter a sideways drift, the tight, range bound action would be consistent with that of the past few sessions.

Stocks gave up early gains to trade with modest losses, but they were able to gradually battle their back into positive territory. Financials and tech issues, arguably the two most influential sectors, traded out in front of the action. Strength in the two sectors resulted in gains in 0.8% and 0.7%, respectively.
(RL 171.49, +14.42) was a top performer by percent gained. The stock's surge to a record high followed an upside earnings surprise. Dow component (DIS 41.27, +0.29) also posted better-than-expected earnings, as did (TWX 38.54, +0.44). Time Warner complemented its report with strong guidance and a dividend hike, but the stock failed to sustain an early advance. Sprint (S 2.41, -0.04) rebounded from an early slump that came in response to an earnings miss, but the stock ultimately returned to the red.
There wasn't a single dose of data released today. And although headlines suggested that the Troika is looking for Greece to pledge permanent spending cuts, terminate government jobs, trim its minimum wage, and increase sales tax, market participants also continue to await official developments from the flagging country.
Both the dollar and the euro had a relatively quiet day of trade. As of the closing bell, both were essentially flat for the session.

1:00 pm : Stocks have spent the session muddling along in mixed fashion. The listlessness has kept the broad market near the neutral line.
The major equity averages mustered modest gains in the early going, but the move proved unsustainable. As sellers applied pressure each of the three major indices slipped into the red, but they have all spent the past hour recovering gradually.
Although not exactly leaders, financials have been a source of support. The sector currently trades with a 0.3% gain. In contrast, a 0.8% loss among energy plays is dragging on broad market trade.
Quarterly reports have spurred some stock-specific swings, but they've generally had little influence over broad market trade. Ralph Lauren (RL 170.70, +13.63) shares have surged to a record high following an upside earnings surprise.

Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +4.80. Stocks drifted to narrow gains yesterday. The crawl has extended into premarket trade so that broad market futures barely lead fair value. In the backdrop, overnight action in Asia was generally strong, and Europe's bourses are currently up with modest gains.
Earnings results last evening featured an upside surprise from Walt Disney (DIS 40.41, -0.57), but that hasn't been enough to keep away sellers ahead of today's open. Earlier this morning Time Warner (TWX 39.10, +1.00) served up an upside surprise of its own and issued strong guidance. The company also increased its annual dividend by 11% to $1.04 per share. Meanwhile, CVS Caremark (CVS 44.02, +0.94) posted in-line earnings results and Sprint (S 2.45, +0.00) came short of the consensus. Note: ticker quotes reflect premarket prices.
