  • Sector strength is bolstered by follow-through from significant moves in names like Palantir and Caterpillar's AI data-center exposure.
  • A supportive macro backdrop, including lower oil prices and easing Middle East risks, is improving sentiment for growth stocks ahead of key services PMI data.
