2336 Views ·25 Posts
The banking turmoil in the U.S. spread to Europe on Wednesday in the form of Credit Suisse. But tech stocks aren't influenced by what's happening in the banking system.
The stock market rally attempt had a strong session, reversing higher from earlier lows. The Nasdaq led the way, fueled by big caps such as $Apple(AAPL.US)$ , $Microsoft(MSFT.US)$ , $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD.US)$ and $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)$ . Some of them have seen five consecutive daily green candles.
