Solar and quantum computing stocks rallied Thursday, contributing to broad gains across the technology sector as investors poured into high-growth themes. The move follows a robust June jobs report and easing inflation concerns, fueling appetite for innovative, future-oriented industries.
Momentum focused on companies at the crossroads of clean energy and advanced computation, with renewed investor interest pointing to longer-term optimism about federal infrastructure support and commercial scalability. Analysts pointed to today’s gains as part of a broader “risk-on” sentiment despite an uptick in yields, with tech once again leading market momentum.
