The Nasdaq Composite Index, heavily weighted toward technology and growth stocks, has shown strong performance in 2025, driven by AI optimism, easing trade tensions, and robust corporate earnings. Here’s a brief update on Nasdaq ETFs based on recent data:Performance: The Invesco QQQ ETF (QQQ), tracking the Nasdaq-100, has risen significantly, with a year-to-date gain of around 29.5% as of late 2024, though it experienced a 12% pullback earlier in 2025. The Nasdaq Composite turned positive in 2025 after a strong May rally, fueled by tech giants like NVIDIA and Broadcom. See the finance card above for QQQ’s current price and metrics (e.g., $530.185, down slightly from a high of $540.81).Key ETFs:Invesco QQQ (QQQ): Tracks the top 101 non-financial Nasdaq companies, with heavy tech exposure (e.g., Apple, Microsoft).
