Equity markets rally on weak jobs data easing Fed rate hike fears and strong Big Tech earnings.

Equity markets surged last week, led by the Nasdaq and major tech stocks like Nvidia, which rose 11.6%. The rally was driven by a weaker-than-expected employment report, which investors saw as reducing the risk of aggressive Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This boosted growth, high beta, and large-cap tech stocks, while energy, commodities, and REITs saw selling pressure. Falling Treasury yields and expectations for looser monetary policy further supported the positive market sentiment.
