why it matters

Lists of intraday leaders and laggards show which stocks are moving at a given moment, but they do not capture the full session. Technology names and an energy equipment maker led the gains, while telecom, media, healthcare and consumer stocks lagged. For the broader market direction, the index close and the breadth of gains matter more.
