S&P 500, Nasdaq climb over 1% on tech, earnings boost

06:13pm, Wednesday, 09'th Feb 2022 Business Recorder
Wall Street''s main indexes rallied on Wednesday, with high-growth stocks gaining as a recent rally in Treasury yields paused, while investors took comfort from upbeat earnings reports and signs of easing tensions in Ukraine. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury yield slipped from multi-year highs hit in the previous session, helping steady sentiment across global markets. All of the 11 major S&P 500 sectors advanced in early afternoon trading, with six of them rising more than 1% each. Mega-cap names such as Apple Inc, Tesla Inc , Google-owner Alphabet Inc and Microsoft Corp rose between 0.3% and 1.1%. Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc gained 2.9% and was set to break its four-day slump. "It is partially due to the 10-year (yield) coming down, it is still at a high level but the tick down is giving some relief to the tech-related names," said Lindsey Bell, chief investment strategist at Ally Invest in Charlotte. "The tech sector had been beaten up coming into February and we have seen a bit of bounce since end of January." Growth and technology names have been among the worst hit this year on rate hike fears as their value rests heavily on future earnings, which are discounted more deeply when rates go up.
