The major indices remain in the red, but pare some of their losses in a broad-based recovery effort.
Mid-cap stocks are outperforming their large-cap counterparts, as
demonostrated by the 0.4% rise in the S&P 400. The index is
benefiting from a rise in shares of energy companies, with notable
strength in Denbury Resources (+2.61) and Newfield Exploration (+3.23).
