US Stocks Open: Nasdaq Down 0.22%, Meta Up ~3%

The divergence between a marginally lower Nasdaq and a notable Meta gain points to stock-specific momentum rather than broad risk appetite. Meta's rise suggests company-level catalysts are overshadowing index-level caution, which matters for traders tracking large-cap tech leadership. The key question is whether this strength can persist and lift the broader sector, or if it remains an isolated move within a fragile tape. Watch whether other mega-caps follow suit or if the index drift deepens.
