Big Tech in 4-Day Winning Streak on Wall Street Sparked By Earnings Bets
NEW YORK (Sputnik) - Big Tech extended its winning streak on Wall Street for a four straight day on Monday, boosted by expectations that the sector will post upbeat third-quarter earnings.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite index rose almost 1% on the day, bringing to almost 4% its gains over a four-day period. The rally came as consumer tech giant Apple unveiled a new line of accessory products on Monday while video streaming service Netflix and electric-car maker Tesla were set to report earnings later in the week.
The S&P 500 index, which groups the top 500 US stocks, also rose on the day. But the broad-based Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped as data showed US industrial production fell 1.3% in September, slowing for a second month in a row, due to a crunch in the supply of microchips that disrupted automobile output.
"It was a good day to be a mega-cap tech stock as Microsoft rose to fresh record highs, Netflix rallied ahead of earnings and Apple’s event on AirPods, MacBooks and new music plan were positively received," Ed Moya, analyst at online trading platform OANDA, said.
