【Major U.S. Stock Indices】

The U.S. stock market showed overall strength, with the S&P 500 rising 0.38% to 5995.54 points, the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 0.59% to 43988.99 points, and the Nasdaq slightly increasing by 0.09% to 19286.78 points. The rise in these indices reflects positive market expectations for the upcoming Consumer Price Index data. However, investors should remain aware of potential uncertainties in the market.

【Performance of Leading Tech】

Among the top seven tech giants, Tesla stood out with a 9.19% increase, bringing its market value back to $1.1235 trillion. Tesla's rise was mainly driven by market sentiment following its recent market cap breakthrough. Meanwhile, Microsoft, Apple, and Meta fell by 1.03%, 1.20%, and 1.05%, respectively, highlighting concerns about the future growth potential of tech giants. Apple faces growth challenges, and Meta encounters transparency issues in its new AI testing. Google A saw a modest gain of 1.13%, benefiting from its innovative efforts in AI.

【AI and Semiconductor Sector】

In the AI sector, NVIDIA led the declines with a 1.60% drop, its market value reaching $3.56 trillion. NVIDIA's decline may be linked to its recent performance guidance and concerns about its future growth. The semiconductor sector overall performed poorly, with TSMC down 3.55% and Intel down 4.31%. NVIDIA's continued decline dragged down related stocks. Meanwhile, Dell Technologies rose 3.19%, reflecting market confidence in its future growth as it actively expands its AI business.

【Electric Vehicle and New Energy Vehicle Sector】

The electric vehicle sector continued to show strength, with Tesla's 9.19% gain being particularly notable. Domestic innovators like Li Auto and XPeng also recorded increases. The strong growth of China's new energy vehicle market and supportive policies have brought positive signals to this sector. The rise of traditional automakers like Toyota and General Motors reflects investor confidence in their successful transition to electric vehicles.

【Cryptocurrency and Meme Stocks】

Cryptocurrency-related stocks surged, with Coinbase Global up 19.80% and MicroStrategy up 25.82%, mainly benefiting from Bitcoin's record rise. Meme stocks also performed well, with AMC Entertainment and GameStop rising 5.15% and 9.57%, respectively, reflecting increased market interest in higher-risk investment opportunities.

【Gold and Precious Metals Sector】

The gold sector saw significant declines, with major gold stocks like Barrick Gold and Newmont down 5.43% and 6.02%. A stronger dollar and changes in investor risk preferences put pressure on gold prices. Although there is still long-term demand for precious metals, short-term volatility may pose challenges for investors.

【Banking Sector】

Bank stocks generally rose, with Bank of America up 2.11% and Morgan Stanley increasing by 3.08%. Market expectations shifted following Trump's election victory, and potential regulatory reforms have benefited bank stocks. The strong performance of the financial sector reflects investor optimism about economic growth prospects.

【Market Recommendations】

Investors should remain cautious in the current market environment, focusing on the impact of upcoming economic data. With tech giants facing growth slowdowns and regulatory challenges, diversifying into other strong-performing sectors, such as electric vehicles and bank stocks, might be a wise choice. As market volatility increases, investors should closely monitor market dynamics to timely adjust their portfolios.
