Nasdaq leads a strong market rally despite Fed's rate hike warning, driven by tech and trade optimism.

The Nasdaq surged 1.95% on Monday, leading a broader market rally with the S&P 500 up 1.33% and the Dow Jones up 0.60%. This rally is fueled by gains in technology, crypto, and Greenland-related stocks amid optimism over easing U.S.-China trade tensions ahead of a key summit. Despite Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee's clear warning of the need for higher interest rates due to spreading inflation pressures, investors are betting on a temporary easing of geopolitical risks to sustain risk asset gains. The market's focus will remain on the outcome of the upcoming China-U.S. summit and any shifts in bond yields that could affect the Fed's rate outlook.

The Nasdaq Index's recent surge provides context for Pluang's market snapshot.
