Live Nasdaq Composite: Markets Hunt Direction on Tech's Mixed Signals
"The markets are mixed out of the gate as bulls and bears wrestle for control. The Nasdaq Composite is being pressured lower this morning, while the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average attempt to go their own way. Precious metals remain on a wild ride, with the gold price headed back toward the $5,000/ounce level. The Nasdaq Composite is up 0.78% year-to-date."
"Palantir Technologies ( Nasdaq: PLTR) is soaring by 10% today on the heels of its better-than-expected Q4 earnings print, beating Wall Street estimates on both the top and bottom lines. The software wonder also forecasts robust full-year revenue growth of 60%. Baird analysts lifted their rating on the stock to "outperform" from "neutral" with a price target of $200 attached."
