Summarized from ChartMill

Some Dow components are making notable moves today. Here's what active traders need to know right now.

Friday sessions can set the tone for the whole week's close, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average is seeing some stocks break from the pack today. Whether you're holding positions into the weekend or hunting for a quick trade, knowing which blue chips are moving — and which are sitting dead — matters.
