TLDR
- โS&P 500 +1.02% to 7,209.00; Dow +1.62% to 49,652.15 on April 30
- โCyclical sectors led rally while Big Tech earnings remain mixed; Nasdaq +0.89%
- โStrong close may boost Asian markets; tech guidance disappointment could pressure Nasdaq near-term
Why this matters

What to watch
- โข Upcoming Big Tech earnings reports and guidance for Q2 โ any downward revision could reverse Nasdaq gains
- โข US April jobs report (NFP) โ key macro data that could validate or challenge the current rally
