Nasdaq Rebounds as Tech Investors Brace for Earnings
The Nasdaq composite climbed over 1% today, fueled by a resurgence in semiconductor stocks even as broader market sentiment remains constrained by geopolitical tension and rising energy costs. Investors are now pivoting their focus toward the upcoming quarterly results from industry titans including Alphabet, Tesla, and IBM.
