12:00 ET Dow +44, Nasdaq +20, S&P +4.75: [BRIEFING.COM] Positive trading has dominated for most of the session thus far, although the Nasdaq did temporarily dip into the red... The focus has been the employment data... The headline nonfarm payroll number came in below expectations with the phone strike and the layoff of census workers attributed as the main factors behind the slide... But with the unemployment rate rising and the NAPM report also coming in at weaker than expected levels, the marketplace has firmly latched on to the belief that the Fed is on the sidelines for the rest of the year... Oil has been leader following comments about oil and gas prices going forward by Lehman... One sector that has far underperformed today is the Internet professional services... An after the close Q3 earnings warning yesterday from Viant (VIAN ) and the inevitable downgradings, that also include other stocks in this space such as Scient (SCNT -4 9/16) and Sapient (SAPE -7 15/16), is the reason for the ugly performance... Volatility may continue but with many likely to leave prior to the close, volume is expected to dwindle this afternoon. DJTA -19.80... DJUA +2.55... SOX -2.57... DOT -2.26... XOI +10.51... NYSE Adv/Dec 1384/1182... Nasdaq Adv/Dec 1796/1798.
