11:00 am : While modestly improving, the indices remain below the unchanged mark. Crude continues its run, and has hit a fresh session-high of $62.65 per barrel. Combined with relative weakness in retailers - the dual effect of declining GM and WMT shares - that price action has pushed the Discretionary sector 1.0% lower. On the flip-side, the Energy sector continues to benefit from the crude climb, but its 2.5% rise is not enough to fully offset declines across seven sectors. Second to the Discretionary sector on the laggard list, Industrials extend a weighty 0.8% loss. Transportation issues are a particular sore spot, as rising oil has also sparked some selling there. To that end, the Dow Jones Transportation Average is currently off 2.0%. DJ30 -17.51 NASDAQ -9.99 SP500 -0.37 NASDAQ Dec/Adv/Vol 1816/1029/577.3 mln NYSE Dec/Adv/Vol 1633/1475/465.0 mln
