Among the best performing companies was Intel Corporation, 3M Co and Merck & Co by surging 2.94%, 1.97% and 1.60%, subsequently. Intel shares advanced despite bearish reports.  Miller Tabak & Co published their view on Intel stocks saying that the company is suffering from negative growth in the personal computer market and overstock.
