4 Technology Stocks Blasting Higher

Remember last week, when the technology sector was slammed lower on worries over higher regulatory scrutiny? Wall Street apparently doesn’t, as stocks in the sector are zooming higher after the Nasdaq Composite dramatically tested below its 200-day moving average.

All it took was some dovish chatter from the Federal Reserve to turn sentiment around in a big way. Also helping was over-the-weekend news that President Donald Trump’s Administration had reached an agreement with Mexico, relieving the risk of fresh import tariffs.

Some impressive rallies are under way, particularly in stocks poised to benefit from the coming launch of new video game hardware in 2020. Here are four stocks worth a look:
