1:00 pm : Over the past half hour, the market has continued to fade. Each of the indices are well off of their session highs, but are managing to maintain positive footing. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is still faring best. Google (GOOG 364.89 +23.00) is mostly to credit; the Tech sector is now only 0.1% higher, and biotechs are booking a loss. Since the last update, the Consumer Discretionary sector has falled to a 0.2% loss. The Healthcare and Utilies sectors have meanwhile dropped into the red. Those areas of the market are capping the indices' advances, especially amid a lack of spirited leadership.DJ30 +4.08 NASDAQ +7.12 SP500 +1.08 NASDAQ Dec/Adv/Vol 1227/1633/1.11 bln NYSE Dec/Adv/Vol 1350/1771/818.1 mln

12:30 pm : The indices are sustaining gains, but they've pared them. The declines come despite the fact that the price of crude has reversed course. Futures contracts are now about 0.6% lower to $63.50 per barrel. There appears to be some profit taking following yesterday's near-4% spike. Accordingly, the Energy sector has erased much of its intra-day gain. Its advance had been the market's best source of support, and the loss of its leadership is taking some of the steam out of the indices. Telecom, up 0.4%, is now the best-performing sector. News of the impending Lucent/Alcatel merger is helping to drive that area of the market.DJ30 +20.73 NASDAQ +9.53 SP500 +1.84 NASDAQ Dec/Adv/Vol 1171/1675/1.00 bln NYSE Dec/Adv/Vol 1294/1795/726.2 mln
