Highlights in the coming week include General Electric, Coca-Cola and Tesla, while IBM and Texas Instruments provide first real look at Tech performance for the quarter.

  • Real Estate and Health Care sectors underperformed in the first half, industrial and office REITs weighing on the former: Prologis -3.55%, Extra Storage Space -3.16%, BXP Inc -2.82%. Pharmaceutical companies weighed on the Health Care sector: Biogen -2.09%, Zoetis -1.91%, Incyte -1.84%.
  • On the flipside, Information Technology and Energy sectors led gainers ahead midday, semiconductor makers buoyed the former: Fortinet +1.80%, Nvidia +1.74% while Super Micro Computer gained 0.68%.
