US stock markets opened firmly higher on Friday as investors looked to end the month on a positive note, with technology shares once again leading the gains.

The **Nasdaq Composite** rose **231.33 points**, or **0.92%**, to **25,353.51** shortly after the opening bell.

The **S&P 500** advanced **39.96 points**, or **0.54%**, to **7,477.59**, while the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** gained **225.88 points**, or **0.43%**, to **52,433.94**.

**Apple** was the biggest drag on the market, falling **8.6%** after warning that supply constraints would weigh on sales of its iPhone, Mac and iPad products during the current quarter.

Cryptocurrency exchange **Coinbase** also suffered sharp losses, dropping **12.1%**, while internet services company **GoDaddy** slumped **23.8%** after disappointing investors.

Other notable decliners included **Strategy**, industrial gas supplier **Linde**, software company **AppLovin** and memory chip manufacturer **SanDisk**, all of which traded lower during the session.

Despite the weakness in several large-cap stocks, the broader market remained in positive territory, supported by continued strength elsewhere in the technology sector as investors assessed the latest wave of corporate earnings.

The positive opening puts Wall Street on course to finish July with further gains as sentiment improves across global equity markets.
