The major equity averages are working their way up from session lows, but the Nasdaq continues to wrestle with relatively stiff selling pressure. Its weakness comes largely as a result of losses among the likes of Cisco (CSCO 17.41, -0.17), Akamai Tech (AKAM 33.80, -0.43), and Broadcom (BRCM 34.88, -0.40). However, Apple (AAPL 348.87, +2.59) and Intel (INTC 23.42, +0.51) have been sources of support.
