Rally in Tech Stocks Continues with Rising AI Enthusiasm

This announcement catalyzed a surge in the price of Microsoft's stock, contributing to the uplift across major stock indices. The S&P 500 experienced a 0.7% increase, while the Nasdaq Composite, known for its concentration of tech-oriented companies, grew by 1.1%.
