Risk Appetite Rebound Drives Nasdaq Gains Amid Falling Oil Prices

The US stock market is experiencing a rebound due to declining oil prices, which has boosted risk appetite. This trend is evident in the Nasdaq's 0.3% gain and the subdued performance of the DJIA.

A notable trend today is a collective rebound among AI-related companies, led by memory producers such as Nvidia (+1.7%), Micron (+1.7%), and Sandisk (+1.7%). Chipmakers like Intel (+1.6%) and AMD (+3.75%) are also gaining ground.

The tech sector, including Communication Services, is optimistic, with companies like Uber (+0.7%), Meta (+0.8%), and Netflix (+1.2%) posting gains. In contrast, defensive sectors such as energy and consumer goods are largely declining.
