SNAPSHOT S&P, Nasdaq open higher on oil retreat, tech optimism - Reuters

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq opened higher Friday, riding a retreat in oil prices and renewed optimism around the tech sector. Lower crude costs eased inflation concerns, giving equities room to bid higher at the open. The move underscores a market still responsive to energy price swings and growth-stock momentum.

The rally signals continued risk appetite heading into the session, with capital flowing into tech and broader index exposure. Sentiment remains constructive as traders price in softer energy inputs and favorable earnings tailwinds. No major crypto-specific catalysts drove the move, though risk-on equity strength typically lifts digital asset sentiment in tandem.
