On a day when tech shares w💧ere leading markets lower, investors decided it was time for a beer. 

The S&P 500's consumer staples sector was recently up about 1.1%, rising as tech stocks were pulling the benchmark index lower, making it the best-performing sector on the day so far. Real estate was up about 0.5%.

Molson Coors (TAP), recently up about 5%, was the best-performing stock in the entire index, while several others—including JM Smucker (SJM), Campbell Soup (CPB), and Modelo owner Constellation Brands (STZ)—were among the top gainers. Constellation earlier today updated its full-year guidance, which included a bump in the low end of its outlook for 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:earnings per share (EPS).

Costco, Target,🅘 Dollar Tree Among Few Retailers Lower

Nearly all of the S&P's staples stocks were in the green, with a few retailers—namely Costco Wholesale (COST), Target (TGT), and Dollar Tree (DLTR)—among the exceptions. 

Dollar Tree's shares were slipping ahead of its second-quarter financial results, expected before the opening bell tomorrow. 

All three major U.S. indexes 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:were recently down at least 1%, with the tech-focused Nasdaq off about 2.5%.
