In today’s episode of“Global Indices Do the Cha-Cha”, US tech led the charge, Europe tripped on its shoelaces, and Asia woke up swinging. Let’s dive in.
🇺🇸 US Indices: Powered by Chips, Not Just Hype
| Index | Last Traded | Change | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nasdaq | 19,141.88 | 🔼 110.79 (0.58%) | AI addiction continues |
| S&P 500 | 5,913.16 | 🔼 5.61 (0.09%) | Holding its ground |
| Dow | 42,097.20 | 🔻 -64.23 (0.15%) | Grandpa needed a nap |
Nasdaq is now the gym freak of Wall Street— bulky, shiny, and always flexing. Thanks to AI mega caps (yes, Nvidia again), tech has become the savior of not just the internet, but now your portfolio too.
Dow, on the other hand, is the reliable uncle who still types in ALL CAPS and prefers dividends over dopamine. It slipped slightly as investors rotated out of value and
into chips (not Lays, the Nvidia kind).
🐉 Asia: The Hang Seng Had Energy Drinks for Breakfast
| Index | Change | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Hang Seng | 🔼 532.37 (2.30%) | Hong Kong says hi |
| Nikkei | 🔻 -55.13 (0.14%) | Sideways samurai |
| Kospi | 🔼 32.15 (1.23%) | Korea’s back, baby! |
China and Hong Kong stocksrallied hard, driven by:
- Beijing signalingstimulus(again — maybe the 400th time)
- Foreign inflows returning on hopes of better GDP
- And the realization that stocks were justtoo cheap to ignore
Nikkei cooled a bit, but it’s still near38,000+ levels, proving that Japan’s decades-long economic nap might finally be over — at least until someone sneezes about inflation again.
