Read MoreHide Full Article

Wall Street rallied on Tuesday after logging in the worst week since March 2020. The rally was driven by bargain hunting as most investors flocked in to take advantage of equity weakness and extreme oversold conditions. The end-of-quarter rebalancing activity possibly added to the stength.

The most beaten-down growth and technology stocks were the biggest gainers on the day. Global X Blockchain ETF (BKCH - Free Report) jumped 8.2%. This was followed by VanEck Vectors Digital Transformation ETF (DAPP - Free Report) , iShares Blockchain and Tech ETF (IBLC - Free Report) , Bitwise Crypto Industry Innovators ETF (BITQ - Free Report) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW - Free Report) , with gains of nearly 6% each.

Americans are grappling with a surge in the cost of gas, food and shelter. Additionally, concerns over slowing economic growth and a more aggressive Federal Reserve prevailed (read: Time for Cash-Like ETFs?).

Many investors bet that the worst may be over for now, at least until the important economic data and corporate earnings roll in. President Biden has shown confidence and reiterated that he doesn’t see a recession as inevitable. Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis president, James Bullard, also said the economy appears on track for more expansion this year. Further, many strategists said that investors may see value in companies whose shares have been badly beaten down this year and thus could be a compelling opportunity for buying.
