*Tech Sector Boost: Nasdaq outperformed after the U.S. approved Nvidia’s H200 chip exports to selected Chinese clients, easing prior tech export restrictions. This provided revenue visibility for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, and improved sentiment across growth stocks.
*Entertainment Sector Volatility: Netflix’s $72 billion Warner Bros bid drew regulatory scrutiny, and a competing Paramount offer increased uncertainty. Despite this, the market largely absorbed the risk, treating it as part of broader consolidation in media and streaming.
U.S. equities traded firmer as a combination of rate-cut expectations, improving U.S.–China tech relations, and calmer macro conditions supported buying interest. The Nasdaq outperformed after confirmation that Nvidia’s H200 chips will be allowed for export to selected Chinese clients, a material relaxation of tech export conditions that lifted sentiment across semiconductors. The move restored some revenue visibility for Nvidia, AMD, and Intel, and signaled a more pragmatic U.S.–China tech stance loosening a major overhang for growth stocks.
The broader market also reacted to developments in the entertainment sector as Netflix’s historic $72 billion bid for Warner Bros faced heightened regulatory scrutiny. The deal’s massive $5.8 billion breakup fee and momentum from a competing hostile offer by Paramount introduced volatility but kept media names in focus. Even so, the market largely absorbed this uncertainty, viewing it as part of a larger consolidation trend across media and streaming platforms.
Cyclical sectors supported the Dow as investors embraced the pro-growth implications of a potential Fed cut. Slight improvements in global risk tone reflecting stabilizing Treasury yields, cooler U.S. data, and modest progress in Ukraine peace discussions helped reinforce the bid for equities. Markets interpreted Trump’s softer tone toward China (soybean imports, chip approvals) as reducing trade-war risks, lifting sentiment across international-exposed U.S. corporates.
However, traders remain cautious ahead of what many describe as the most “split” Fed meeting in years. A hawkish pushback on aggressive cut expectations could dampen equity momentum, while a dovish confirmation may extend the tech-led rally. Volatility is expected to rise as investors position ahead of the Fed, the delayed U.S. jobs report, and key inflation releases.

The Nasdaq on the chart continues to trade near the upper boundary of its recent range, sitting just below the previous swing high around the 25,900–26,000 area. Price remains comfortably above the 0.786 Fibonacci retracement zone, showing that the broader bullish structure is still intact.
Momentum signals are mixed but leaning positive: the RSI is hovering around 62, indicating mild bullish momentum but also showing signs of slowing as it curls down from earlier highs, suggesting buyers may be losing strength near resistance. The MACD remains in positive territory with green histogram bars, confirming upward momentum, but both the MACD line and signal line are flattening showing early signs of a potential momentum fade. Until a clear breakout occurs, the Nasdaq is showing bullish bias but diminishing momentum at the highs.
Resistance Levels: 25,695.00, 28,000.00
Support Levels: 23,900.00, 22,500.00
