Tech Resilience: Sector Rebounds Amid Rate Cut Speculation
In a dramatic turnaround that has investors breathing a collective sigh of relief, tech stocks led a robust market rebound on Monday, quelling fears of an extended sell-off. The Nasdaq Composite surged 1.16%, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both climbed over 1%, marking a decisive end to last week's downturn.
Dodging the Sell-Off Bullet
Many market watchers had braced for another potential sell-off following the worst week for stocks in 2024. However, the tech sector's resilience shone through, with giants like Nvidia (+3.5%), Amazon, and Tesla leading the charge. This rebound underscores the enduring appeal of tech stocks, even in the face of economic uncertainties.

The market's sudden about-face can be largely attributed to growing speculation about potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. As investors eagerly await this week's CPI and PPI reports, the prospect of a more dovish Fed policy is rekindling enthusiasm for growth-oriented tech stocks.
