Wall Street Gains on Tech and Oil Drop
The major U.S. stock indexes closed the week higher, supported by a rebound in the technology sector and a decline in oil prices, along with diminished fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East. The Nasdaq index closed at 27,366 points, up by 172 points, while the Dow Jones stood at 51,655 points, gaining 423 points. Technology stocks such as Tesla, Nvidia, and Microsoft posted strong gains, coinciding with easing geopolitical tensions and a calming of investor concerns. Meanwhile, Brent oil prices dropped to around $103 per barrel following reassuring political signals, although U.S. consumer confidence data came in below expectations, limiting gains due to inflationary pressures. The communications sector experienced a decline, with significant losses among several companies following SpaceX's acquisition deal, which heightened fears of increased competition in satellite services.
