Midday Brief
Jul 20 · 12:00 PM EDT
Markets are showing modest gains in technology, energy, and communication services amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and a sharp drop in volatility. Despite a cautious sentiment, the U.S. Treasury yield rise and a matched earnings report from DPZ are contributing to a mixed but steady midday tone.
