The Nasdaq Composite opened today’s session trading below the 20-day exponential moving average (EMA) but had clawed back its losses by the time of writing and was back above this crucial indicator.
The index has been on a six-day losing streak, and investors would be happy to see today’s session end in positive territory to break the trend.
The Nasdaq was trading up 0.44% at writing, with stocks getting a boost from the weak dollar amid falling US inflation figures.
