After yesterday’s tariff-induced sell-off, stocks have made their way into positive territory. Now that the S&P 500 has erased all of 2025’s gains, there is seemingly nowhere to go but up. The Nasdaq Composite has suffered a steep 5.5% drop in February alone and is glad to see March right around the corner. As of mid-morning trading, all three of the major stock market indices are trading in the green.
Chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices (Nasdaq: AMD) is seeing green today after unveiling its newest chip architecture, the AMD Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards, which the company says “deliver enthusiast-level gaming experiences supercharged by AI.” After dipping below $100 per share in the tech sell-off, AMD has made its way back above that key threshold.
Rocket Lab USA (Nasdaq: RKLB) is a different story, sinking about 4% as of mid-morning trading but off of its worst levels of a double-digit percentage decline. Rocket Lab has delayed its highly anticipated Neutron debut to H2 2025 and also reported a wider-than-expected loss in its Q4 report. The company also had record annual revenue of $436.2 million.
Here’s a look at the performance as of morning trading:
Dow Jones Industrial Average: Up 240.42 (+0.56%)
Nasdaq Composite: Up 15.33 (+0.08%)
S&P 500: Up 16.90 (+0.29%)
