Nasdaq 100 Eyes Best Year Since Dot-Com Boom: AI, Fed's Pivot Behind Tech's Stunning Revival
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The Nasdaq 100 Index is set to record its best year since 1999, with a 55% increase in performance, driven by AI advancements and a dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve. The tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust and SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust saw significant inflows. Semiconductor companies like NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices are among the top performers. The Fed's softer stance on interest rates has made tech stocks more attractive, while the Invesco Equal Weight 0-30 Year Treasury ETF also experienced a notable rally.
