Wall Street edges higher on tech gains, ‘meme’ stocks rally

U.S. stock indexes rose slightly in early trade on Wednesday, driven by gains in heavyweight technology stocks, although investors avoided big bets ahead of key inflation data this week and an upcoming Federal Reserve meeting. Buying into so-called “meme stocks” by small-time retail investors continued, with the new favorite Clover Health surging 13.8% to a record high. “It is going to be consistent and the participation is good, but there remains a risk of high speculation and market manipulation within these meme stocks,” said Rob Sechan, managing partner and co-founder of NewEdge Wealth.
