The Tech (XLK) sector rose, led by chip giants Nvidia (NVDA) and AMD (AMD), as well as memory makers Micron (MU) and SK Hynix (SKHY).

Intel (INTC) stock also jumped after JPMorgan analysts upgraded the stock, citing “solid execution.”

Shares of neocloud provider CoreWeave (CRWV), which were hammered last week, rebounded on the heels of a Goldman Sachs upgrade, helping lift the AI trade.
