The stock market has been proving the naysayers wrong so far, and the market has been rallying back in full force. Many tech names are soaring towards their highs, and underperforming names are starting to reverse course.
Many of the businesses that had high exposure to tariffs are being re-priced upward by Wall Street, and these stocks are turning into winners as they recover. There seems to be a market-wide reshuffle due to lingering uncertainty, and the only central theme that’s apparent currently is that “risk-on” mood may have returned.
Here’s a market update as of 11:00 AM (ET) today.
- The S&P 500 is up 1.37 points, or 0.02%.
- The Nasdaq Composite is down 9.48 points, or 0.04%.
- The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 15.2 points, or 0.04%.
