The Dow Jones and the Nasdaq both inched higher on Tuesday, with very little increase at 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively. The S&P 500, however, moved higher by 0.24% and set a new record. We expected this would happen this week, and the entire stock market is looking healthy at the moment.

That is despite fears looming over a tough inflation rate that does not seem to be improving as well as new tariffs and a lack of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. These issues have led to economic concern, but the stock market is sidestepping these issues to deliver a strong week that is following on the coattails of a positive previous week.

What to Watch This Week

Investors should keep an eye on fast-moving technology stocks, which have proven to be some of the bigger movers and shakers in 2025 already.

Tesla (TSLA) rose 2.28% on Wednesday and could climb higher before the trading stopped for the day. This stock has been rising over the last week but has not recovered to its incredibly high January levels. We do expect that Tesla will continue to do well this year and that its early February sink was just a fluke.

Apple (AAPL) stock has skyrocketed this month and could do even better before we get into March. It looks flat today, but that simply means that the stock is retaining its gains so far. Since February 10th, Apple stock has shot up by 7.4%, and the company has retained its number one spot for market cap on the global market.

On Tuesday, Intel (INTC) stock shot up 16%. That is the best day of trading for this stock since 2020. The stock jump occurred after reports showed that two buyers could be looking to split the company- Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing.
