On Wednesday US tech sector companies closed with a mix of gains and losses. There is still a large amount of uncertainty going on between investors and analysts about easing on government bond buying program. One serious indicator of whether economy is ready for a stimulus reduction is the Q1 GDP data which should be available one hour before the US stock market opens today.

Despite the decline of Nasdaq tech index by 0.61% some of the companies in the industry have managed to record a gain in their price share. Apple closed at a gain of 0.80% following their CEO appearance on Tuesday night at the D11 conference sponsored by AllThings D technology blog.
