All eleven sectors traded in green during the intraday trading session today with the energy, financial, and information technology sectors gaining 2.66%, 2.47%, and 2.53%, respectively.
The gloomy global growth outlook, continuous rise in interest rates and recession fears have dented investors' sentiments in the past few days. In a switch from the pessimistic view, the tech-dominated Nasdaq Composite closed 3.34% higher on Friday at 11,607.62 points. Technology stocks have come under tremendous pressure due to the rising rates. But today's performance of the technology sector is a matter of relief for tech investors.
