Equity markets are staging a broad rally led by technology, with the S&P 500 up 2.1% and QQQ climbing over 3%. Strong semiconductor buying, anchored by an Oppenheimer upgrade on AMD, is driving index gains despite headline drag surrounding NVDA executive controversies and regulatory probes. However, retail traders remain cautious regarding potential volatility spikes ahead of upcoming CPI data and Federal Reserve speeches.
