Tech stocks rally while healthcare drags: Today's market highlights

Tech stocks led market gains as investors favoured growth names while healthcare lagged. Apple (AAPL.OQ) jumped 2.25% and Nvidia (NVDA.OQ) rose 1.69%, helping power a technology-led rally, with Broadcom (AVGO.OQ) also up ~2.1%. Microsoft (MSFT.OQ) slipped 1.34%, suggesting some profit-taking amid the advance. Healthcare underperformed, with Eli Lilly (LLY.N) down 1.79% and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ.N) slipping modestly, weighing on sector breadth. Consumer names like Amazon (AMZN.OQ), Walmart (WMT.OQ) and PepsiCo (PEP.OQ) showed stability, while financials were mixed (JPM.N slightly lower, Citigroup (C) higher). Market takeaway: momentum favors tech, but sector divergence creates opportunities for rotation and selective buying in beaten-down healthcare names if signs of stabilization appear.
