Stocks are mixed Thursday morning behind a rally in tech stocks. Both $SPY and $QQQ are higher, but $DIA is lower after Fitch ratings put the US AAA rating on the negative watch list. The agency cited the ongoing debt ceiling negotiations, though Fitch said it expected a deal to be reached.

For economic data today, US GDP growth during the Q1 was revised higher to 1.3%, up from 1.1% in the initial estimate. The change was mainly a result of an upward revision to private inventory investment. Consumer spending was revised slightly higher to 3.8%.
