Despite an unexpected increase in jobless claims that rekindled some concerns about the economy and brought bond yields lower, technology companies led the way higher in U.S. markets on Thursday. Twitter earnings outperformed views, with revenue increasing by 74%, the highest increase in seven years. 

Investors re-entered their favourite tech stocks as optimism about the sector grows ahead of huge earnings releases for some of the sector’s biggest brands next week. Salesforce increased by 2.5%, while Amazon and Facebook increased by 1.4%. 

Despite soaring sales growth, Snap and Twitter’s results shattered expectations. In overnight trading, the stocks of Snap and TWTR soared, indicating prospective breakouts. This boosted the stock prices of Facebook (FB), Pinterest (PINS), and Google (GOOG) in the futures market.
