🟢 Tech ETF (XSD) is trading 1.75% up, amid tech strength after Nasdaq’s record close

XSD is trading at $562.10, up +1.75%, as technology and AI-linked shares remain a source of market strength.

• The Nasdaq closed at a record on October 5, supported by gains in Nvidia and Microsoft.
• Semiconductor shares were mixed in premarket trading on October 6 after a five-session rally: Nvidia was higher, while several chipmakers and SOXX slipped.
• Broad risk appetite and recent tech leadership—not a uniformly strong chip-sector move—are the likeliest context for XSD’s gain.
