US tech stocks continue to rise, outpacing broad market this year. Technology Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLK) closed at a record high on Tuesday (July 18). The sector fund’s gain drew support yesterday from its largest holding (23.2% of portfolio): Microsoft (MSFT), which jumped to a record high yesterday after the company announced a new artificial intelligence subscription service for its Microsoft 365 software bundle.
Although the US stock market has rallied sharply so far in 2023, the gain pales next to the tech sector. XLK is up more than 45% year to date, more than double the rise in SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) this year.
