Forget margin or options. Here's how the pros trade QQQ

Let's break down the sectors behind the performance.

## **Today's Top-Performing Sector**

Information technology was the top-performing sector as strong earnings from Atlassian (TEAM) helped drive a rally in software stocks. In addition, strength across semiconductor and data infrastructure companies supported broader gains in the sector as risk-on sentiment returned to the market.

Several information technology stocks led the sector's gains, including:

-   Datadog (DDOG)
-   Oracle (ORCL)
-   First Solar (FSLR)
-   Seagate Technology (STX)
-   Intel (INTC)

## **Today's Worst-Performing Sector**

Meanwhile, the energy sector faced the largest drawdown as Brent crude oil (BZ) stumbled lower. The drop in oil prices weighed on the sector, as lower crude prices tend to reduce revenue expectations and margins for energy companies.

Notable energy stocks trading lower include:

-   Occidental Petroleum (OXY)
-   Valero Energy (VLO)
-   Texas Pacific Land (TPL)
-   EQT (EQT)
-   Phillips 66 (PSX)
