Tech Stocks Soar as Nvidia and Chip Manufacturers Drive Nasdaq and S&P 500 Rise

On Monday, U.S. stocks saw gains, led by a rally in technology shares, as the S&P 500 rose 0.7% and the Nasdaq jumped nearly 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average managed to recover from earlier losses, closing up almost 0.2%. Significant contributors to the market’s performance included semiconductor giants Nvidia and Broadcom, with shares climbing more than 3% and 5%, respectively. Meanwhile, investor sentiment remained cautious after the Federal Reserve indicated it would maintain elevated interest rates for longer than previously anticipated. The Fed’s comments followed a week of volatility, although a recent inflation gauge suggested some easing. Concerns about consumer confidence also persisted, with December experiencing the largest month-over-month decline since late 2020. As the market heads into a shortened trading week due to the Christmas holiday, analysts are taking stock of the economic landscape and potential future policy shifts.
