  • 14:30 ET DOW +92.79 AT 12462.17, NASDAQ +54.02 AT 2832.81, S&P +15.41 AT 1310.63

    [BRIEFING.COM] Stocks are drifting sideways. The crawl has kept the major equity averages near session highs for the past couple of hours.

    Share volume remains light. The lack of participation suggests that there might not be a great deal of conviction behind today's bid. To be fair, though, share volume has been unimpressive all year.

    Nasdaq +54.02 at 2832.81... NYSE Adv/Dec 2440/545... Nasdaq Adv/Dec 1825/675.
