The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 106 points, or 0.3%, at 33,657, as of 3 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.8% higher.A drop in oil prices took some heat off the stock market, a day after crude reached its highest price of the year. Treasury yields also relaxed to give the stock market more of a breather, particularly Big Tech companies.
