As such, gold continues to glisten as it sports a 1.6% gain at $1032.80 per ounce, near the record high of $1035 per ounce that it set earlier in pit trade.
Healthcare has joined the other major sectors in positive territory, but it continues to lag on a relative basis.

Dow +1.1%, Nasdaq +1.1%, S&P 500 +1.2%.
