- Market sentiment is improving following easing Middle East tensions and a sharp decline in oil prices, allowing investors to refocus on AI-driven earnings strength.
- The ETF is outperforming broader benchmarks like the Nasdaq and S&P 500 due to its heavy concentration in large-cap tech and communication services.
