Major indices on the New York Stock Exchange were uniformly rising as of the afternoon of the 25th. After selling pressure centered on technology and semiconductor stocks in the previous session, bargain-hunting flows entered the market today, with the Nasdaq showing a relatively sharp rebound.

■ Major Index Movements (as of the afternoon of the 25th, intraday)

According to trading figures, the Dow Jones Industrial Average stood at 53,498.87, up 81.71 points (0.15%) from the previous session. The S&P 500 was trading at 7,681.61, up 28.65 points (0.37%). The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose to 26,182.10, up 201.91 points (0.78%) from the previous session, recording the highest gain among the three major indices. The Russell 2000, which tracks small- and mid-cap stocks, also climbed to 3,005.65, up 10.57 points (0.35%), rising in tandem.

■ Tech and Semiconductor Stock Rebound Leads the Way

The rebound on the New York Stock Exchange today appears to be driven by a recovery in technology and semiconductor stocks, which had recently shown weakness. In particular, market attention is focused on the movements of artificial intelligence (AI) and semiconductor-related stocks ahead of Nvidia's earnings announcement. According to Reuters, the New York market was expected to open higher on the back of a tech stock rebound and movements in U.S. Treasury yields. The fact that long-term U.S. Treasury yields have come down somewhat from recent highs is also acting as a positive factor for investment sentiment toward growth stocks.

■ Previous Session Closed Mixed

The New York Stock Market closed mixed in the previous session on the 24th. While the Dow rose 0.26%, the S&P 500 fell 0.28% and the Nasdaq dropped 0.76%. In particular, weakness in technology and AI-related stocks weighed on the Nasdaq. On the 25th, however, tech stocks regained strength intraday, widening the Nasdaq's gains.

■ Future Variables and Points of Caution

The market sees Nvidia's earnings and future AI-related investment demand as among the key variables that will determine the direction of technology stocks. However, the current figures are intraday trading numbers and may change until the New York market close. In particular, index volatility could expand depending on major corporate earnings, U.S. economic indicators, Treasury yields, and changes in international conditions, so the final closing figures should be confirmed separately.
