MARKET OVERVIEW 1. Stock Market:

Although the tug-of-war state may prolong, the market is expected to find support upon correction and continue testing supply and demand in this zone.

US Market: In the February 25 session, the US market closed in the green as concerns over AI investment costs and tech risks temporarily subsided, improving investor sentiment. The S&P 500 rose about 0.8% to ~6,946 points, the Nasdaq Composite led with a +1.2% gain to ~23,152 points, and the Dow Jones increased ~0.6% to ~49,482 points, driven by major tech stocks like Nvidia ahead of its positive earnings report released after hours.
