The boost in market sentiment came on the heels of President Joe Biden’s unexpected announcement on Sunday that he would not seek re-election. This development has introduced renewed volatility as traders speculate on who will emerge as the Democratic nominee.
The uncertainty regarding the political landscape has reinvigorated market fluctuations, especially considering the previous market pricing for a Biden vs. Trump scenario.
Along the S&P500, the Nasdaq Composite (Symbol: NAS100) also outperformed, rising 1.6%, driven by strong buying momentum in the tech sector.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (Symbol: DJ30) saw a more modest increase of 0.3%, with fewer appealing stocks to capture investor interest.
