US Markets Wrap: AI Rally or Holiday Relief? Markets Bounce Back

Stocks surged Monday, led by tech giants like Alphabet, as markets recovered from a shaky start to November. The Nasdaq posted its biggest gain since May, fueled by renewed optimism in AI, from Google’s Gemini 3 upgrade to strong moves in Broadcom, Micron, AMD, and Palantir. Ryan Detrick, Chief Market Strategist at Carson Group, breaks down whether this rally signals renewed conviction in the AI trade or is simply a relief bounce, explores how shifting Fed rate expectations are influencing sentiment, and weighs the risks of volatility during thin holiday trading. Plus, he previews key economic data this week, including retail sales and producer prices, and what it could mean for the market heading into December.
