On the 19th (local time), major technology stocks rose in the U.S. New York stock market, leading a broad rebound.

Tesla (TSLA) also joined the upward trend, closing at $368.06, up $13.34 (3.76%) from the previous session, with a trading volume of 38,608,164 shares and a turnover of $14.116 billion.

Nvidia (NVDA) rose $2.96 (1.38%) from the prior session to $217.09, with a trading volume of 98,020,114 shares and a turnover of $21.311 billion.

Apple, Meta Close Lower

In contrast, Apple (AAPL) finished at $342.94, down $0.52 (0.15%), with a trading volume of 34,518,558 shares and a turnover of $11.841 billion. Meta (META) also showed weakness, closing at $705.44, down $3.89 (0.55%) from the prior session, with a trading volume of 15,758,812 shares and a turnover of $11.078 billion.

Points of Interest Ahead

The day's stock movements confirmed a joint rally among semiconductor-related companies alongside mixed moves by some major platform companies. While Micron, Nvidia, AMD, and Intel all rose, Amazon and Tesla also showed strength, with SanDisk, Amazon, and Tesla in particular posting gains of more than 3%, standing out among major tech stocks. However, given the declines in Apple and Meta, it is hard to characterize the session as a uniform rally across the tech sector.

The market is expected to focus on whether this rebound will continue in upcoming trading sessions. Whether major semiconductor stocks can sustain their upward momentum and whether the divergence in performance among large-cap tech stocks narrows will be key variables to watch going forward.
