single-day change vs previous close
What happened that day?
- On 31 March 2026 the Nasdaq rose 3.83% to close at 21,590.63
- The trigger was the report that the Iran war might end
- It bounced further because it had fallen further — 12.84% below its peak in this stretch
- The war worked against technology twice over. Oil pushed prices up and blocked rate cuts, and money reducing risk leaves technology first
- With both lifting at once, the bounce was larger here
- The quarter was still the worst since 2022. One session does not make that back
- The actual ceasefire came in stages that April and June
