Another day, another hopeful tweet on trade from President Trump that is helping boost the stock market. This time, it is word that China’s vice premier would be visiting the White House to help ink a deal. Previous reporting suggested that discussions had broken down over intellectual property rights.

And in another indication that this is all becoming habitual now, in reaction to the optimistic news, investors are pouring into big-cap tech stocks to ride the wave of sentiment higher.

With that in mind, here are five big-cap tech stocks that are rallying nicely and worth a look today:

Tech Stocks to Buy: Netflix (NFLX)

Tech Stocks to Buy: Netflix (NFLX)Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares are trying to come back from the dead, bouncing off of multi-week support near the $260-a-share level in what is likely to be a challenge of the 50-day moving average. NFLX stock has lost nearly a third from the double-top highs it set earlier this year as the streaming wars intensify with Disney (NYSE:DIS) and Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) getting in on the action. But a relief rally is in order now.

The company will next report results on Oct. 24 after the close. Analysts are looking for earnings of $1.24 per share on revenues of $18 billion.

Nvidia (NVDA)
