The questions for markets are simple: is this a new up-wave in the remorseless tide of ever higher Tech valuations, have valuations changed, have the underlying market fundamentals swung back in favour, or is this a dead-cat Tech bounce before the brutal reality of a changed market base again bites expectations..?
