Stocks have rebounded from their premarket woes, the Nasdaq Composite (IXIC) now up triple digits, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and S&P 500 Index (SPX) sit modestly higher. Tech stocks are leading the charge, brushing off post-earnings drops from Tesla (TSLA) and IBM (IBM), both of which have pared early losses. Meanwhile, existing home sales increased 1.5% in September, rising to a seven-month high despite elevated prices.

D-Wave Quantum Inc (NYSE: QBTS) is one of the best performers on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) today, up 20.5% at $32.87 at last glance. The equity is enjoying sector tailwinds after The Wall Street Journal reported the Trump administration is in talks with several quantum companies to take equity stakes in exchange for federal funding.
