Are Tech Stocks Back?
Although the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite delivered a surprising increase in early June, the tech sector may not be ready for a comeback after a bad start to 2022.
Jobs: Several tech companies, some public and some private, announced a mixture of layoffs and hiring freezes in early June. This is a bad sign for the sector.
Micro Cut: Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) cut its guidance last week, a sign that tech giants might struggle this summer.
Final Thoughts: Keep an eye on the U.S. dollar this summer. If it gets stronger, that could spell trouble for tech stocks.
