On Tuesday, the Nasdaq hit new all-time highs, driven by robust earnings from tech firms in the artificial intelligence sector, such as AMD, Astera Labs, Lumentum, and Arista Networks. This rise comes despite a challenging year for the Zacks Internet Software industry, which has seen a 7.5% decline compared to the S&P 500's substantial gains. With earnings reports from Palantir, Coinbase, and Shopify on the horizon, traders are advised to employ risk-defined strategies amid heightened implied volatility in the market.
