Stock Market & Tech Rip Higher while Bitcoin Rallies (July 22, 2024)

Good evening, I’m Drew Stegman with your news update for July 22, 2024.

Today on Wall Street, a surge in technology stocks led a broad market rally as investors absorbed the latest political developments and prepared for upcoming corporate earnings reports. The S&P 500 climbed over 1%, breaking a recent losing streak, while the Nasdaq Composite surged nearly 1.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also saw modest gains, rising 0.3%.

Driving today’s gains were notable recoveries in big-name tech companies such as Nvidia, which jumped more than 4.5%. This rebound follows significant losses last week as investors shifted away from larger tech stocks.

The market’s positive momentum comes amidst significant political upheaval, with President Joe Biden announcing his withdrawal from the presidential race. This move has prompted Democratic leaders to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris, garnering endorsements from prominent figures like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Looking ahead, market watchers are closely eyeing corporate earnings reports due later this week from tech giants such as Alphabet, Tesla, and others. These results will provide crucial insights into both corporate performance and economic trends, ahead of key data releases on GDP and inflation.

In a separate development, rumors swirled about former President Donald Trump’s potential announcement at the upcoming Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville. Recent speculation and rumors suggests Trump may reveal plans to establish a U.S. Bitcoin strategic reserve, which could potentially impact cryptocurrency markets significantly.
