US Stocks Rise for a 2nd Session

2026-04-09 19:05 By Juan Quintana 1 min. read

US equities moved higher on Thursday, with the S&P 500 rising rising 0.66% to 6,827.34 , the Dow Jones up 0.65% to 48,221, and the Nasdaq 100 advancing 0.78% to 25,097, as markets extended gains while entering a consolidation phase following Wednesday’s relief rally.

The upside was driven mainly by mega-cap technology and consumer stocks, led by Amazon and Meta, reflecting continued demand for growth assets.

Investors reacted to easing geopolitical concerns after reports that Israel signaled openness to negotiations with Lebanon, raising hopes of avoiding a broader regional conflict.

However, gains were uneven, with some tech names under pressure, highlighting sector rotation.

Markets remain cautious, balancing improved risk sentiment with uncertainty over whether the fragile ceasefire will hold, while oil near $100 reflects ongoing geopolitical risks.
