Stocks Close Out Tough Month on a High Note

Stocks Close Out Tough Month on a High Note

The stock market is set to wrap up a February to forget on a high note.

The S&P 500 is up 0.7%, shaking off some initial stumbles among key tech stocks like Nvidia. The Nasdaq gained 0.8%. The Dow was up nearly 300 points, or 0.7%. Today's gains won’t heal all the scars of a rough month on Wall Street.

The Nasdaq Composite has tumbled 5.3% this month, which would be its largest monthly decline since September and its worst February since the start of the pandemic in 2020.
