IGV is trading at $96.04 (+1.54%) as software stocks climb alongside a broader tech-led pre-market rally driven by improved risk appetite and stronger Nasdaq futures.
- Recent strength in major players like Amazon and Microsoft has reinforced the AI and cloud spending themes, providing a significant tailwind for software sector multiples.
- The upward move reflects a sector-wide continuation supported by easing geopolitical tensions and a stabilizing AI trade rather than an isolated headline.
- Major U.S. indices are pointing higher as software stocks participate in the broader market bid following firmer futures data.
