The top-gainers were technology and telecommunication sectors. Apple and EMC added 1.73% and 0.21%, while Crown Castle International and MetroPCS Communications inched up 0.04% and 1.80%. Meanwhile, Precision Castparts climbed 0.66% after it has agreed to purchase Titanium Metals Corp. for about USD2.9 billion. At the same time, property developers dragged the US stock index lower.
