US stocks open higher and the Nasdaq reaches an intraday record high as investors refocus on technology shares. Multiple reports attribute the rise to renewed strength in tech stocks, which are regaining momentum after a period of volatility.

The West Australian’s business coverage also points to softer oil prices as an additional factor lifting sentiment at the start of the session, alongside the tech-led advance. Other coverage emphasizes the broader market move driven by technology stocks, noting the Nasdaq’s move to a new intraday peak. While both accounts align on the market direction and drivers, they differ in emphasis: one highlights the specific role of energy-price moves, while the other centers more on tech regaining footing.
