The dow, the S and P 500 the NASDAQ flat just barely to the upside though.

Here, we've seen this teetering, waffling, hyper oscillating, whatever you wanna call it, call it higher at the open.

At least as of right now, the NASDAQ decided to say, hold my beer.

Anyway, as of right now, we are still seeing just a flat line trading to start today.

We're not too far from the flat line.

We can take a look at the sector action that we have up here on the board.

As Trading day does get underway.

You've got energy leading the way followed by real estate on the flipside, consumer, discretionary utilities, financials under a bit of pressure here today.

So a bit of a split action here at the open and take a look inside the NASDAQ.

So much of the focus has been on some of those larger cap tech names really carrying the rally here.

Many of those upgraded outlooks that we've got to the S and P 500 but many of that has been based on this momentum that we've seen in those larger cap tech names.

So taking a look at where the, where they are starting the day, a bit of a mixed picture.

You got Apple and Microsoft there trading just to the upside and the flip side, you got Amazon Google and Meda meta under a bit of pressure here in early trading.
