US equity markets staged a broad-based recovery on Thursday, with technology stocks leading the charge.
The Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.6%, buoyed by strong performance in the semiconductor sector.
The S&P 500 also advanced, rising 0.3% as buying interest returned across major indices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted modest gains, contributing to a positive sentiment shift after a flat open.
The rally erased losses from the previous session as investors digested a softer-than-expected macroeconomic data print.
This data point helped ease concerns about near-term economic resilience, allowing risk assets to rebound.
