As of 11:56 a.m. ET, the <b><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/indices\/dowjones\/today\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Dow Jones Today\">Dow Jones<\/a> Industrial Average (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=DJIA\">DJIA<\/a>)<\/b> rose 0.14% to 44,775.51, the <b><a href=\"https:\/\/stockmarketwatch.com\/indices\/sp500\/today\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"snp500 today\">S&#038;P 500<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=SPX\">SPX<\/a>)<\/b> gained 0.49% to 6,041.99, and the <b>Nasdaq Composite (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=IXIC\">IXIC<\/a>)<\/b> surged 1.24% to 19,582.50.<\/p>\n<p>This rebound comes on the heels of Monday&#8217;s significant tech-fueled selloff, which saw the Nasdaq drop more than 3% in its worst single-day performance in over a month. The recovery is largely attributed to investors scooping up beaten-down chipmakers and power providers, with AI-linked shares showing particular resilience.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tech_Giants_and_AI_Stocks_Regain_Ground\"><\/span>Tech Giants and AI Stocks Regain Ground<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Nvidia (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=NVDA\">NVDA<\/a>)<\/b>, the AI chip leader, rose 2.6% after experiencing a staggering $593 billion market value loss on Monday. Other tech giants also contributed to the Nasdaq&#8217;s gains, with <b>Apple (<a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock\/?stock=AAPL\">AAPL<\/a>)<\/b> jumping 4.2%. The broader semiconductor index edged 0.9% lower but showed signs of stabilization after Monday&#8217;s 9% plunge.<\/p>\n<p>The market&#8217;s volatility earlier in the week was triggered by Chinese startup DeepSeek&#8217;s launch of AI models that reportedly rivaled or surpassed U.S. industry leaders at a fraction of the cost. However, analysts suggest that Monday&#8217;s selloff may have been an overreaction, with Jim Elios, chief investment officer at Elios Financial Group, stating that &#8220;a correction in some of the AI-related stocks was inevitable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Federal_Reserve_Decision_and_Earnings_in_Focus\"><\/span>Federal Reserve Decision and Earnings in Focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Investors are closely watching the Federal Reserve&#8217;s first interest rate decision of 2025, expected later today.
