Whats going on with NDQ?

Hello! It’s great to hear that you’ve started your investment journey. The NDQ, which tracks the NASDAQ-100 Index, has been performing well recently primarily due to several factors. Here are a few key attributes contributing to its growth:

1. Strong Performance of Tech Stocks: The NASDAQ-100 is heavily weighted towards technology and consumer services companies, such as Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google’s parent company, Alphabet. These companies have shown strong performance, especially as digital transformation accelerates and more people rely on technology in their daily lives and work.

2. Innovation and Growth in the Tech Sector: Continuous innovation, advancements in AI, cloud computing, and other emerging technologies drive growth in the tech sector, positively impacting the performance of indices like the NDQ.

3. Market Sentiment and Investor Confidence: Positive market sentiment towards technology and growth stocks can also drive up prices. Investor confidence in these companies’ future growth potential plays a significant role.

4. Economic Recovery and Stimulus Measures: As economies recover from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, stimulus measures have also helped improve market liquidity, benefiting stocks, including those listed on the NASDAQ-100.

As a new investor, it’s important to focus on understanding the factors that influence the performance of the investments you are interested in. While it’s good to keep an eye on market trends and performances, it’s also crucial to maintain a long-term perspective and not be swayed by short-term fluctuations.

Hi Justin,

NDQ has been performing very well for quite a long time to be fair.

In my view, it’s likely just the sheer dominance of US tech companies and how they continually find ways to grow their earnings at high rates. It’s quite remarkable really.

There’s probably also some expectation of lower interest rates which is helping boost things a bit. As for what comes next, who knows.

Cheers, Dave
