From Reuters' "Nasdaq futures jump as tech stocks bounce back" posted early Tuesday:
Futures tracking the Nasdaq 100 index jumped on Tuesday as technology stocks rebounded with easing concerns about the Omicron variant, while shares in chip giant Intel rose following plans to take its self-driving-car unit public.
Some high-flying technology shares have been battered in recent days as investors priced in an aggressive tightening of U.S. monetary policy despite concerns about the Omicron coronavirus variant.
Tesla Inc rose 3.3% in premarket trading after dropping into bear market territory on an intraday basis on Monday, falling more than 20% from its record high close hit on Nov 4.
Intel Corp surged 8.1% after revealing plans to take Mobileye public in the United States in mid-2022, a deal which could value the Israeli unit at more than $50 billion, according to a source.
Other chipmakers Advanced Micro Devices, Micron Technology and Nvidia rose between 1.8% and 3.2%. Big tech stocks including Amazon, Alphabet , Apple and Microsoft rose about 2% each in early trading.
Charts: Yahoo!Finance sees a neutral commodity channel index pattern. Max pain is at $160 with a call mountain at $170.
Eh, correction, just hit ATintradayH of $170.95. I don’t mind making corrections in this direction,
Should be interesting at the close today, assuming no bad news.
That big jump this AM was fueled by the premarket, and almost certainly was mainly composed of short term traders. To maintain upward momentum, AAPL needs long term investors to either add to their holdings or join us for the first time on the Good Ship Apple.
So if you’re trading, please consider sticking a few more shares of AAPL in the “stock drawer” as well.
Laissez le bon temps rouler.
