There is widespread strength across all sectors with the more cyclical areas (basic materials, financials and oil & gas) leading the rally.

US equities finished mostly lower on Tuesday, with trading fairly subdued ahead of a pickup in activity on the earnings calendar over the next few days, particularly for the financials and technology sectors.

The S&P 500 was down 0.3% and the Dow Jones was down 0.2%. There was renewed selling pressure in managed care stocks as the passage of healthcare reform legislation progressed in Congress.
