U.S. stocks have their best day in two weeks, with the Dow breaking its losing streak. Tech stocks led the rally, especially Apple, which saw a 3.3% increase. Taiwan Semiconductor also performed well, beating expectations with a 9.8% share increase. However, investor concerns about the Federal Reserve’s monetary tightening and uncertainty over interest rate cuts remain. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite erased all 2024 losses and turned positive for the year. Additionally, first-time unemployment benefit applications reached their lowest level in 16 months.
