Seven sectors display gains with the top-weighted technology sector (+0.6%) trading just behind real estate (+0.6%).

Key factors driving today's performance include:

Positive start in top components like Apple (AAPL 175.99, +0.91, +0.5%), Microsoft (MSFT 319.77, +4.79, +1.5%), and NVIDIA (NVDA 280.47, +2.30, +0.8%) and gains in roughly half of the remaining sector components helping the top-weighted group extend this week's gain to 1.8%.
