Market Roundup: Stocks soar, led by technology stocks, USD weakens after recent

rally On Thursday, the U.S. stock market had a strong rally, driven by impressive gains in tech stocks and a weakening U.S. dollar after the recent rally. Investor optimism was driven by positive corporate earnings and improved sentiment around the U.S.-China trade talks.

Technology stocks lead

the overall market higher, with the S&P 500 technology sector recording the biggest gains among all sectors. Major companies such as Alphabet, Nvidia, Tesla, and ServiceNow have seen significant gains. ServiceNow stood out in particular, with shares soaring more than 15% after reporting better-than-expected quarterly results. The strong performance of technology stocks continues to reinforce their role as the main drivers of the market.

Trade developments boost sentiment

Investor confidence is further supported by positive updates on trade negotiations. U.S. officials pointed to the ongoing dialogue with China and hinted at the possibility of reducing tariffs. These developments eased some concerns about a protracted trade war, helping to maintain positive momentum in the stock.

USD drops after recent surge

The US dollar, which has appreciated recently, has depreciated against major currencies. The dollar index fell significantly, reflecting investor caution amid trade uncertainty and growing speculation that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates sooner than previously expected. Currencies such as the euro and the pound rose against the dollar, while the yen strengthened, signaling a larger shift in market sentiment.

Commodities react to market

moves Gold prices rebounded sharply as the dollar weakened, with spot prices rising by more than 1%. Oil prices also rose slightly, supported by expectations of stronger demand and a favorable trade outlook. Commodity volatility underscores how global markets are adjusting to changing economic and political conditions.

Outlook

The combination of strong earnings from tech companies, easing trade tensions, and expectations of a change in monetary policy suggests that the market may remain volatile but optimistic in the short term. Investors will closely monitor the upcoming economic data and the Federal Reserve's signals to assess the sustainability of this bull run.
