Tech sector catches its breath ๐Ÿš€

Despite negative geopolitical signals, Tuesday’s session is bringing relief to investors in the US stock market. After losses of up to 7% from the peak over recent weeks, the market is regaining confidence in further gains and is recovering part of the decline.

  • The leaders of the gains in the US are technology companies, mainly from the semiconductor sector, DRAM memory, and “neo-cloud”.
  • Meanwhile, “SaaS” companies are mostly falling, as a result of a very selective interpretation of a Morgan Stanley report on the condition of the sector and its outlook.
