Tech stocks continue to lag the rest of the market. The sector's 0.4% gain, which is less than half of what the S&P 500 has achieved, comes as weakness in F5 Networks (FFIV 100.73, -10.71) and Western Digital (WDC 35.30, -2.78) offsets strength in eBay (EBAY 34.04, +0.87) and Motorola Mobility (MMI 24.24, +1.83). F5's slide comes even though the company posted an upside earnings surprise for the latest quarter. eBay did the same last quarter, but investors have had a much more positive response to the company's numbers.

The stock market's upward push has taken pause, so as to give stocks a bit of a breather. As things currently stand, the S&P 500 is on pace for a weekly gain of more than 2%.
Financials have been a big driver of today's gains. The sector is now up 2.0%, which makes it the top performing sector in the broad market. For the week, financials are collectively up 3%.
Morgan Stanley (MS 23.26, +1.54) is a top performer among financials today. The stock's 7% spike comes in response to news that the investment bank and brokerage outfit had a narrower-than-expected loss for the latest quarter. Earlier this week peer Goldman Sachs (GS 134.39, +1.64) posted earnings that were well short of what had been widely expected on Wall Street.

"The largest contributors to the LEI in July were the real money supply (+0.3pp) and the yield curve (+0.4pp). Together, these two components reflect the Fed's ongoing economic support. Outside of the Fed's help, the LEI would have declined by 0.3% in July."
