Major Tech Stocks Drive Market Gains

The major averages were higher as major technology names led broad gains. Markets are looking to build on Tuesday's gains after softer-than-expected inflation data eased concerns that the Federal Reserve may need to tighten policy again this month. That view is likely firmed up further by today's cooler-than-expected producer price data that reinforced signs that pricing pressures are easing.The producer price index for final demand fell 0.3% in June, driven by a 1.4% decline in goods prices, while services prices edged up 0.2%. The softer-than-expected report follows Tuesday's encouraging CPI data and is likely to strengthen expectations that the Federal Reserve will leave interest rates unchanged at its July meeting.Get caught up quickly on the top news and calls moving stocks with these five Top Five lists.1.

Sinclair CEO Supports FCC Updating Ownership Restrictions

Sinclair President and CEO Chris Ripley issued the following statement in response to the announcement that the Federal Communications Commission will consider modernizing its national ownership restrictions at its August Open Meeting: "It should not be controversial to suggest that changed facts should lead to changed rules. We commend Chairman Carr for considering action to modernize the FCC's rules setting the national ownership cap - and for his continued leadership in looking at ways to preserve local news by taking proactive steps to empower local broadcasters. Given the undeniable change and disruption to the media ecosystem, updating these rules to reflect the current landscape is common sense."
