Stocks are set for a strong opening as technology shares lead the market higher following positive developments from major chip companies. Stephen Whiteside highlights stronger pre-market action in the NASDAQ, S&P 500, and Dow, driven primarily by IBM’s chip announcement and Micron’s earnings, while noting that upcoming economic data has recently taken a back seat to semiconductor-related news.
The video also reviews technical signals across major asset classes, including the NASDAQ, VIX, currencies, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and sector ETFs. Weakness continues in precious metals, energy, and mining stocks, while select equities such as Shopify, Home Depot, and Booking show relative strength. The session concludes by emphasizing that semiconductor leadership remains the key factor driving the current market rebound.
