  • Stocks Rally as Nasdaq 100 Hits Record High on Strong Tech Earnings
    April 30, 2026, 1:29 PM EDT. Stocks rose with the Nasdaq 100 reaching a new record high, driven by Alphabet's stronger-than-expected Q1 revenue and Qualcomm's impressive Q2 results, up 6% and 16% respectively. The S&P 500 and Dow also gained, supported by lower crude oil prices that eased inflation concerns and pushed 10-year Treasury yields down. Despite mixed US economic data including a slower GDP growth of 2.0% versus expectations of 2.3%, and mixed signals from manufacturing and leading indicators, the labor market remained strong with initial jobless claims at a 57-year low. Meanwhile, Meta and Microsoft pulled back due to cautious forecasts and growth concerns. Falling oil prices reflect worries about economic growth impacting energy demand.
