U.S. Stocks Show Volatility, Maintain Positive Bias Amid Geopolitical De-escalation and Tech Sector Swings

U.S. stock markets experienced significant volatility on Monday, largely maintaining a positive bias, with the Nasdaq up 1%, the S&P 500 gaining 0.6%, and the Dow rising 0.4%. This market movement occurred as renewed reports of U.S.-Iran negotiations helped restore investor confidence following a weekend of hostilities. The volatility was largely driven by swings within the technology sector. European markets, however, moved to the downside on the day.
