Notable gainers in the NASDAQ 100 included Trade Desk Inc, which saw a significant increase of 9.32%. Other notable gainers included Palo Alto Networks Inc (+3.4%) and Atlassian Corp (+2.03%). On the flip side, Grail Inc (-4.76%), Intel Corp (-4.47%), and Gilead Sciences Inc (-3.12%) faced significant declines.

The Industrials sector was the worst performer, declining 0.21%, followed by Communication Services, which slipped 0.27%.
Despite the market’s resilience, analysts are urging caution. Some believe that the reaction to Thursday’s jobless claims data may have been overstated, considering the relatively minor improvement. Market strategists warn that volatility could persist in the coming weeks due to technical factors and global economic concerns.
Looking ahead, as the S&P 500 approaches breakeven for the week, the outlook remains uncertain. While some investors are cautiously optimistic, believing that the worst of the sell-off may be over, others predict continued market volatility. Analysts at BCA Research even caution of a possible 30% decline in the S&P 500 by next year as recession risks loom.
