🟢 Tech ETF (WQTM) is trading 2.8% up in pre-market as expanded Treasury buybacks lowered 30-year yields

WQTM is trading at $34.15 (+2.80%), primarily as the U.S. Treasury’s expanded long-term bond buyback program pushed the 30-year yield down roughly 9–10 basis points, improving conditions for rate-sensitive technology stocks.

• Overnight futures remain mixed, with Nasdaq futures modestly higher; August 20, 2026 jobless claims and the Philly Fed index could influence additional volatility.
• The move appears a rebound after WQTM’s 1.75% August 19 and 4.22% August 18 falls, amid improved risk appetite and firmer cryptocurrency markets.
• Slightly higher pre-market Treasury yields and cautious broad-market futures may limit follow-through.
