Major indices saw record highs today in a mixed and tight-ranged session. However, Nasdaq is not joining the party and is trading in negative territory, as interest rates rebound.
Materials is the best performing sector in today’s session driven by strong results from PPG Industries (PPG) along with the strong housing starts/building permits numbers released this morning. Moreover, it is notable the action seeing in lumber today up 2.4% at $1,291.
