The most recent inflation numbers showed a [%1.5] decrease in the [Dow Jones Industrial Average] compared to the previous month. This news gave investors hope that central banks may not need to raise interest rates as aggressively, alleviating worries about a potential economic slowdown.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index led the market rally, closing at new record highs. Companies in the industrial and energy sectors contributed to the indices' gains.

On the other hand, the technology sector did not perform as well as the overall market. While some tech giants like [Apple, Nvidia, and Tesla] saw slight increases, others such as [AAPL, Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA)] and [Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY), AppFolio (APPF), Deckers Outdoor (DECK), and Skechers (SKX)] saw declines.

Factors impacting the performance of technology stocks include profit-taking following a strong rally, concerns about high valuations, and the impact of rising interest rates on the attractiveness of growth stocks like those in the tech sector.

Analysts are cautiously optimistic regarding the market's future. Despite the positive news of inflationary pressures easing, they warn that geopolitical tensions and supply chain disruptions remain potential risks to the global economy.
