US equity markets rallied on Friday, posting clear gains after four hours of trading.
The session was characterized by a distinct upward drift, reversing earlier uncertainty and signaling a return of investor confidence.
The momentum was largely driven by the technology sector.
Amazon and Apple, which both opened their books on Thursday evening, were among the key beneficiaries of the buying interest.
Their performance helped anchor the broader market recovery, suggesting that large-cap tech remains a primary driver of US equity sentiment.
This move follows a modest recovery on Thursday, where the S&P 500 rose 0.2% and the Nasdaq 100 advanced 0.61%, led by semiconductors.
