What drives technology stocks?

Technology is the market's largest sector and its most expectation-driven: valuations lean on growth projected years out, which makes tech stocks unusually sensitive to interest rates, product cycles, and any datapoint about the AI buildout. The desk covers the chipmakers supplying the compute, the cloud and software companies deploying it, and the capital-spending announcements that ripple through both.

Crypto coverage lives here too, treated the same way - market reporting on price moves, ETF flows, and regulation, with the mechanics explained in the wiki and a full beginner course in the learn library rather than jargon assumed in the article.
