Read MoreHide Full Article

Wall Street rallied on Thursday to end the week in positive territory. This is especially true as cheap valuation has compelled investors to buy stocks at a discount. Additionally, easing inflation and strong manufacturing data bolster confidence. The most beaten-down growth and technology stocks were the biggest beneficiaries.

We have highlighted five of them from different corners of the market that gained more than 6% on the day. These include Simplify Volt Cloud and Cybersecurity Disruption ETF , ETFMG Prime Junior Silver ETF (SILJ - Free Report) , Renaissance IPO ETF (IPO - Free Report) , Amplify Online Retail ETF (IBUY - Free Report) and Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW - Free Report) .

U.S. manufacturing activity picked up in May as new orders and output growth quickened, suggesting solid demand. Meanwhile, an inflation gauge closely tracked by the Federal Reserve rose 6.3% year over year in April, just below a four-decade high set in March and the first slowdown since November 2020.

Further, the latest Fed minutes rekindled some interest in the stock market as there were no surprises. The minutes showed that the central bank will continue raising interest rates by half-percentage point each in June and July to combat surging inflation and avoid an economic downturn (read: Fed Minutes Rekindle Optimism: 5 ETFs That Surged the Most).
