US equity markets ended the week on a positive note, with the Nasdaq Composite rising 0.29% to close at 26,281 points.
The tech-heavy index was buoyed by broad-based strength in technology shares and the market debut of South Korean semiconductor maker SK Hynix, which provided additional momentum to the sector.
The S&P 500 also advanced, rising 0.42% to finish at 7,575.39, capping a session of steady buying interest as investors renewed their appetite for risk.
The rally extended a recovery that began earlier in the week, following a period of heightened volatility.
Technology stocks led the rebound, with the Nasdaq Composite climbing 0.9% on Monday to 7,417.32 before consolidating gains through the remainder of the trading week. The SK Hynix listing served as a focal point for investor sentiment, highlighting continued demand for semiconductor exposure despite broader macroeconomic uncertainties.
Market participants appear to be pricing in a stabilization of risk assets, with the broad-based index gaining ground as selling pressure eased.
The move suggests that the recent volatility, driven by geopolitical tensions and energy market fluctuations, is being offset by strong corporate earnings expectations and sector-specific catalysts.
