U.S. equities rallied as semiconductor stocks powered a broad technology rebound, lifting the Nasdaq 100 by 1.9% and reviving confidence that the AI-driven bull market still has room to run. Renewed demand for chipmakers helped reverse recent weakness as investors returned to the sector despite lingering concerns over elevated valuations and the scale of AI-related capital spending. The strength in technology shares outweighed mounting geopolitical and inflation risks, even as higher oil prices and rising Treasury yields kept expectations for tighter Federal Reserve policy elevated. While the rebound reinforced optimism surrounding the long-term AI investment cycle, persistent energy-price pressures and a higher-for-longer rate backdrop remain key risks to the market’s momentum.
