Benzinga – by Michael Cohen, Benzinga Editor.
Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors’ favorite stocks over the last week — here’s a look at some of our top stories.
Tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100, tracked by the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ), soared this week, pushing the index to new record highs and a fifth consecutive week of gains, the longest streak since January.
For the week, the S&P 500 saw a slight increase of just 0.03%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq outshone others with a gain of 1.41%. In contrast, the Dow Jones dropped by 2.33%, experiencing its first negative week in the last five.
Risk sentiment diminished in non-tech sectors as hawkish Federal Reserve meeting minutes and S&P Global’s business surveys signaled renewed inflationary concerns, raising fears of prolonged higher interest rates.
