QUARRY BAY, Hong Kong - June 28, 2021 - PRLog -- Traders are currently digesting the economic data that was recently released, as well as President Joe Biden announced that him and the Senate Lawmakers were able to come to an agreement for a bipartisan infrastructure project.

The Dow was able to gain more than 300 points or almost 1%. NASDAQ and S&P set new highs for intraday session as well as on market wrap. Tech stocks were going up again after being suppressed for a long time as a result of the Federal Reserve's statement about the updated outlook for interest rate hike and inflation. Because of this, the investors that were originally on cyclical stocks shied away from it and switched back to tech stocks, which greatly affected the "reopening" stocks of airlines and cruise lines.

The new data on the weekly jobless claims report also came in today which reflected a drop in number of new filings, though the drop was less that what was expected.
