Tech leadership prevails as Nasdaq rises, Doq weaker as banks has some sellingDow +2.27 at 27985.60, Nasdaq +133.67 at 11190.33, S&P +17.66 at 3401.20 [BRIEFING.COM] The S&P 500 gained 0.5% on Tuesday, although it started the day up as much as 1.1% in a relatively broad-based continuation of the prior day's rebound. The mega-caps and growth stocks generally outperformed their value-oriented peers. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 1.2%, reflecting the tech-oriented leadership, while the Russell 2000 (+0.1%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (unch) finished little changed. Apple ($AAPL 115.54, +0.19, +0.2%) was the exception to the mega-cap excellence despite the company revealing a new watch with added fitness and health capabilities, a new iPad, and new subscription plans. Shares opened higher by 3.0% but briefly turned negative after the conclusion of its product event in the afternoon, weighing on the major indices. Most components in the top-weighted S&P 500 information technology sector (+1.0%) still showed relative strength, though, and gains in the communication services (+1.7%), real estate (+1.4%), and consumer discretionary (+1.0%) sectors supported the market. Conversely, the financials (-1.4%), energy (-0.8%), and consumer staples (-0.1%) sectors closed lower. Losses were broad in the financials sector, but JPMorgan Chase ($JPM 99.28, -3.19, -3.1%) particularly weighed on sentiment after lowering its FY20 net interest income guidance to $55 bln from prior guidance of $56 bln. Citigroup ($C 44.81, -3.34, -6.9%) fell another 7% after falling 5% yesterday on news of a potential penalty from federal regulators.

Shares of NextEra Energy ($NEE 295.70, +13.78, +4.9%) rose 5% after the utilities company increased its EPS guidance for 2021 and announced a 4:1 stock split. U.S. Treasuries finished mixed and little changed. The 2-yr yield declined one basis point to 0.13%, and the 10-yr yield increased one basis point to 0.68%. The U.S. Dollar Index was flat at 93.08.
