Market Update

11:00 am : Stocks have made their way higher, but the move has been choppy. Financials continue to underpin the gains; the sector is now up 1.6%, double the gain of the next best performing sectors.
Next in terms of gains is the energy sector. It has made its way to a 0.8% gain as oil prices bounce to a 1.7% gain at $82.85 per barrel in the wake of a smaller-than-expected weekly inventory build.
