FTEC is trading 2.27% higher in after-hours trading as the information technology sector rebounds from a two-session slump triggered by a global semiconductor selloff.

  • The recovery is driven by dip-buying ahead of critical earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta, and Qualcomm, alongside expectations for the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate decision.
  • The ETF previously faced pressure from concerns regarding heavy AI-related capital spending and emerging Chinese competition in advanced chipmaking tools.
  • This move higher follows a period where tech stocks underperformed despite relative strength in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.
