In January, the Nasdaq Composite Index reached an all-time high but soon after faced declines due to fears surrounding China's AI developments and persistent inflation. Despite this, by February, it rebounded significantly, closely approaching its peak again. Meanwhile, the QQQ ETF, tracking the 100 largest Nasdaq stocks, also marked a record high.
