Stocks are up with the Nasdaq composite rising around 1% after a rough week last week when the tech-heavy index clocked its biggest decline since June.

"Those names that were kind of getting sold off last week are all bouncing," said Michael Antonelli, a managing director at Baird. Here's what's moving markets today:

-- Tech stocks are driving the rebound with Amazon and Tesla among the biggest gainers.

-- The yield on the 10-year Treasury is up. Renewed confidence in markets is leading investors to conclude that more growth--and more Fed rate hikes--are ahead, Antonelli said.

-- Big earnings week ahead: SpaceX and Netflix report quarterly earnings tomorrow and Meta and Tesla report Wednesday. Investors will be looking at capital expenditures for reassurance that the tech spending boom is still going strong.

The "Future Investment Initiative" summit in Saudi Arabia, known as the "Desert Davos," has announced its postponement. The 10th edition of the event, originally scheduled to take place in Riyadh from October 26 to 29, has been postponed until 2027. The delay is due to ongoing attacks by Houthi forces targeting locations within Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh Airport and the Saudi Aramco headquarters. According to the draft agenda, planned attendees included senior executives from financial giants such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Blackstone.
