Both tech stocks and financial stocks led the market today with respective gains of 1.6% and 1.4%. The two sectors were the best two performing sectors and combine to make up nearly 35% of the total weight in the S&P 500.    

Stocks came under pressure midday today as the dollar rallied against other currancies.  The rally could not 

be sustained and the dollar closed today unchanged.

Trading volume on the NYSE hit its highest level of the year by trading over 3 billion shares, but that was largely the result of this year's last quadruple witching options expiration. The S&P 500 is also due to be rebalanced.
