  • Information Technology and Financial sectors continued to lead gainers in late trade, semiconductor stocks recovering slightly after better selling over the last couple sessions: Monolithic Power +3.31%, Qualcomm +2.51%, Nvidia +1.66% (reporting quarterly earnings late Wednesday).
  • Services companies buoyed the Financial sector: Fidelity National +1.56%, Berkshire Hathaway +1.43%, CME Group +1.39%.
