Stocks Recover, Dollar Rises as Tech Bounces Back

Stock markets steadied on Tuesday, led by a recovery in technology shares. The dollar also gained strength against major currencies. Investors bought back into tech stocks after a recent sell-off, pushing the Nasdaq index higher. This helped calm broader market fears. The dollar index, which measures the currency against a basket of six rivals, rose 0.3 percent. Traders cited a shift in expectations for interest rates as the main reason. Analysts say the market is still cautious, but the rebound in tech provides a short-term boost. No major economic data is expected to change the trend later this week.
