5 Top Tech Stocks To Watch In The Stock Market Today
While investors ponder about what stocks to buy today, I could see tech stocks moving in the stock market. Why? Well, tech investors received some positive news yesterday from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. At the end of the two-day meeting, it was revealed that the Feds would keep its benchmark interest rate close to zero. Moreover, central bank officials also noted that the next hike could come in 2023. Could the worst of investors’ interest rate fears be over for now?
If anything, CNBC’s Jim Cramer seems to believe so. The Mad Money host suggests that investors should stick their strategies and “buy some high-quality stocks” amidst the current dips. Adding to that, he also believes that industrials and tech stocks could have “a lot more room to run“. Indeed, all this would put some of the top tech stocks in the stock market today in focus.
While this is great news for the tech industry, tech companies have and continue to make massive strides regardless. Notably, tech giants like Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) are making plays this week as well. In Google’s case, the company provided consumers a sneak peek inside its first-ever physical retail store in New York. This would appeal to customers looking for support for their Google products. Meanwhile, Baidu is looking to build 1,000 driverless cars over the next three years. The likes of which would serve to commercialize autonomous taxis on a mass scale in China. As you can see, there is no shortage of exciting developments in the tech world today. With that in mind, could one of these five trending names be worth knowing now?
