Today by sector:
Today's heatmap:
Intel's earnings report came out around 4:15 and trading was halted. Not sure about that. CNBC reporting, and showing a chart, of Intel trading higher after hours. My software was telling me trading was halted. Not sure what the deal is.
UPDATE: Trading just resumed at 4:30 according to MY software, and Maria just came on and said Intel has resumed trading. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time. She gave the earning numbers which appeared to be better than expected, so she ASSUMED they should trade higher. Or, the person in her ear didn't tell her trading has stopped. With the incessant cheerleading and pumping from CNBC, this was a hard thing to say.
YUM Brands also reported, and is trading lower after hours. SPY shares up
