Intel, D-Wave Quantum, Adobe, Nvidia, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Wall Street saw a strong rebound on Wednesday as major indices snapped a two-day losing streak. The S&P 500 gained 0.5% to close at 5,599.30, while the Nasdaq surged 1.2% to 17,648.45. However, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.2% to 41,350.93. The rally was fueled by a cooler-than-expected inflation report, which bolstered expectations for monetary easing and led traders to fully price in three Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025.
