The Nasdaq Rallied Today. Here's Why.

The Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 QQQ had a strong day Wednesday, with the fund seeing gains of 1.51% and closing at $319.13.

U.S. indices were trading higher as investors await details of President Joe Biden's infrastructure package. Tech stocks have also rebounded following recent weakness.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust DIA faltered slightly into the close to finish lower by 0.19% at $330.18. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY also slacked a bit into the close but managed to finish higher by 1.36% at $396.33.

Here are the day's winners and losers from the Nasdaq, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The leaders for the QQQ Thursday came from the likes of Tesla Inc TSLA, Applied Materials, Inc. AMAT and Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc WBA.

Tesla was trading higher in anticipation of Biden’s infrastructure plan, which may include an EV charging system.

On the flip side, Fox Corp  FOX, Comcast Corporation CMCSA and Dollar Tree, Inc. DLTR were among names in the Nasdaq who lost the most ground Wednesday.
