Tech stocks rebound as physician survey bolsters Eli Lilly outlook
Technology shares recovered while a new doctor poll reinforced confidence in Eli Lilly's prospects.
What This Means
A rebound in technology equities follows a prior selloff, supported by survey data showing physician sentiment favoring Lilly, likely reflecting confidence in its drug pipeline or market position. Positive sentiment on a major healthcare name can ease broader risk-off pressure that had weighed on growth stocks.
