The stock market reversed its recent downtrend due to a major relief rally in technology and semiconductor stocks. Investors aggressively "bought the dip" following Friday's sharp sell-off, while calming geopolitical headlines (a fragile ceasefire in the Middle East) and positive stock-specific news eased broader market fears.

Key Drivers for the Turnaround:
- Semiconductor Rebound: The tech-heavy Nasdaq snapped a three-day losing streak as leading AI hardware companies (such as Nvidia, Intel, and Micron Technology) staged a massive recovery. [1, 2]
- Index Inclusion: Marvell Technology surged nearly 10% after it was confirmed to join the S&P 500, which triggered a broader wave of institutional buying across the chip sector. [1, 2]
- Geopolitical De-escalation: An initial spike in oil prices eased overnight after Iran and Israel halted military strikes, maintaining a fragile ceasefire and boosting investor confidence. [1, 2]
- Yield Stabilization: U.S. Treasury yields cooled down from their recent highs, which reduces the pressure on richly valued growth and tech stocks. [1, 2]
