The stock market as a whole hasn’t made any sharp moves today, but this is mostly because gains from the tech sector have been offset by healthcare-related bearishness. President Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at reducing drug costs is mostly why healthcare stocks have extended their losses today.
In the meantime, certain tech companies have rallied more, especially those related to AI. With the exception of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), the Magnificent Seven stocks are all up slightly at the moment.
