Positive consumer confidence figures in September prompted the rise of Wall Street shares on Tuesday.

The S&P 500 was up 0.25 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.07 percent, and the Nasdaq fell 0.26 percent, as reported by The Street . The Dow Jones is up 46 points to 16,047, while the tech heavy Nasdaq added 21 points to 4,656. The broader based S&P 500 went seven points higher at 1,889.

U.S. investors were delighted with the rise of consumer confidence, from August’s 101.1 to 103 in September. This marks the highest level since January’s eight-year high consumer confidence. Following extreme market volatility over the months, economists had expected the measure to fall to 96, but were pleasantly surprised by the results.

Science and tech stocks rise globally

This growing confidence has affected the science and tech sectors. After a week of pressure, due to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton vowing to address "price gouging" in the industry, biotech stocks have experienced a lift. Meanwhile, the healthcare sector, with current announced advancements, was the best performer on the markets. Technological stocks are on the rise, and not only in the U.S.

China rallies behind technological companies, despite reports of the sharpest decline rate of industrial companies’ profit. Stocks rose even as investors remained cautious, paring the benchmark index’ biggest quarterly loss since 2008.

“Risk sentiment stabilised overnight after a rather torrid session in Asia,” wrote Raiko Shareef , a markets strategist at the Bank of New Zealand.

Jupiter Zheng, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Bocom International, told Bloomberg that the stock market is set for more improvements from November as market sentiment improves.

Aside from the healthcare and biotech sectors, companies releasing innovations in information technology, high tech equipment and computer science are also to see a rise in stocks.

Stocks with serious upside potential

Computer Science Corporation, a multinational information technology service provider, has started its process of disconnecting its government business operations from its commercial information technology division as part of its cost-cutting campaign. This bodes well as the company addresses sequestration and budget pressures from the U.S. government.

Similarly, Thunder Energies Corporation (OTCQB: TNRG) is also looking up. As one of the leaders in breakthrough technological equipment, the company has recently launched the Santilli Telescope, the world’s first telescope that can detect the elusive antimatter in space with its concave lenses. It is the product of decades of studies and a number of scientific publications by the company’s chief scientist, Dr. Ruggero Santilli.

With its revolutionary Santilli telescope, Thunder Energies stocks are poised to rise in the next two months.

Aside from several optical labs coming to the company ordering for the Santilli telescopes, the company aims to make its product available for distribution to both professional and amateur astronomers. The production and sale of the Santilli telescope are a significant scientific and technological gain and discoveries from this revolutionary telescope extend to the health and energy sectors.
