U.S. stocks edged higher Thursday, rebounding from Wednesdayโs selloff as gains in big tech helped stabilize sentiment. The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 28 points (+0.1%), and the Nasdaq climbed 0.6%, led by Nvidia (NVDA), Broadcom (AVGO), and Amazon (AMZN).
The bounce comes after renewed U.S.-China trade jitters dragged markets lower a day earlier. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed plans to curb exports of U.S. software to China, adding pressure on sentiment midweek.
Investors are now turning their focus to corporate earnings, with Tesla (TSLA) slipping 4% and IBM (IBM) down 5% after mixed results. Still, more than 80% of S&P 500 companies have beaten estimates so far, helping sustain optimism in the ongoing bull rally.
Meanwhile, oil prices rose after new U.S. sanctions on Russiaโs Rosneft and Lukoil added fresh tension to global energy markets. President Trumpโs confirmation of a scheduled meeting with Chinaโs Xi Jinping offered a modest relief to trade concerns heading into the close.
