However, the Nasdaq still holds on to a substantial edge over the past year, up 72% compared with the Dow’s 50% return.
COVID vaccine rollouts and trillions of dollars in fiscal spending are expected to accelerate the economy’s rebound out of the depths of the public health crisis, which could further drive up rates and place additional pressures on techy names.
