US semiconductor stocks bounced back on Thursday after a big drop that wiped out about $2 trillion in market value over the last eight sessions. Key companies like Nvidia, Intel, AMD, and Micron saw gains as oil prices and Treasury yields fell, boosting market sentiment.
Market Recovery
Nasdaq futures rose more than 1% as investors reacted positively to the lower Treasury yields. The drop in crude oil prices also helped tech stocks recover, especially those involved in artificial intelligence. These stocks had faced pressure during the recent downturn. Analysts pointed out that the rebound in these stocks is important as investors look ahead to a busy week of earnings reports from major technology companies.
Focus on Earnings
