Afternoon Note
It has been a quiet session. It could get slower, as market participants rubberneck the testimony of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell and Treasury Secretary speaking before the House Financial Committee.
The Dow is anchored today by another swoon in Boeing (BA), which lost another plane order. Still, all the eleven sectors of the S&P 500 are higher led by Real Estate and Technology, the latter paced by that strong earnings release from Micron (MU).
I suspect the street wants to hear things are better, but that there will be more stimulus to come.
