The U.S. stock market saw significant gains on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassed the 50,000-point mark for the first time in history, climbing 1,184 points or 2.47%. U.S. President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to congratulate the nation on this achievement. The recovery was fueled by a rebound in technology stocks after several days of intense selling in the sector. Additionally, Bitcoin bounced back following a sharp decline that had caused the popular cryptocurrency to lose more than half of its value. The S&P 500 rose by 1.97%, while the NASDAQ Composite gained 2.18%. NVIDIA and Broadcom were among the top-performing companies.
