Tech stocks rise on Wall Street: Nasdaq and S&P 500 are up

A new trading day on US stock exchanges has started with a positive trend, led by the technology sector. Thanks to the appreciation of shares in companies specializing in artificial intelligence (AI), the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices have returned to an upward trajectory.

According to experts, investors are using recent declines as an opportunity to re-add AI-related tech assets to their buy lists. This tendency has strengthened an optimistic mood in the markets, especially ahead of the upcoming corporate earnings season.

Nevertheless, the Dow Jones Industrial Average is showing mixed signals, and cautious investor behavior is causing hesitation in the market. At the same kiel, the increase in government bond yields remains in the spotlight for stock market participants.

In oil markets, a slight decrease in prices is observed. Global economic factors and uncertainties regarding energy demand continue to put pressure on the value of the commodity.

The picture in European markets is somewhat different. Amid protests and economic challenges in the region, European stock indices have shown a decline, indicating that investors' sensitivity to global risks remains high.
