Good MorningTech and financial stocks led today’s rally after a batch of upbeat earnings reports and analyst upgrades spurred buyers into sector ETFs. Investors cheered strong mid-year numbers from banks and software firms, while hyperscalers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta reiterated hefty data-center buildout plans for 2025, fueling further interest in AI-linked names. Disney’s third-quarter profit beat and McDonald’s traffic boost from its value-focused McValue menu also lifted consumer-oriented shares, as the market looked past soft industry-wide foot traffic.
On the geopolitical front, President Trump announced a fresh 25% tariff on Indian imports of Russian oil—raising the total to 50%—and welcomed Apple’s pledge to invest an additional $100 billion in U.S. operations over four years.

Despite these headwinds, solid corporate results kept equities modestly higher into the close. Featured: Sell these "safe" blue chips immediately (Ad)
