3 Top Tech Stocks That Investors Are Watching Now

Tech stocks continue to gain attention in the stock market this week thanks to several ongoing factors. In fact, stocks, in general, are now mostly unchanged even after a record start to November. By and large, all of this is likely due to the Federal Reserve’s mostly expected deceleration of its bond-buyback program. This would be in line with the current pace of the economic recovery now. At the same time, continuous hikes in inflation could possibly fuel this narrative moving forward.

Now, how would all this relate to tech stocks might you ask? Well, for the most part, should the Fed unwind its monthly bond-buying plans, we could also see a potential rise in interest rates as well. Even if this means higher overall costs for businesses and consumers moving forward, the tech industry continues to power on. For instance, even major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) are heavily focusing on tech. So much so that Starling, a digital bank backed by Goldman Sachs plans to go public.

Elsewhere, the Rogers Corporation (NYSE: ROG), a specialty materials engineering tech firm is making waves in the stock market today. To highlight, DuPont (NYSE: DD) is reportedly looking to acquire the firm in an all-cash deal worth $5.2 billion. According to Rogers CEO Bruce Hoechner, the move could serve to accelerate the company’s long-term growth in key markets. This would, in theory, be possible because of the synergy between both companies’ tech-based material solutions. All in all, these are but two instances of the constantly growing and evolving tech industry today. With that said, here are three tech stocks to keep on your radar this week.

Best Tech Stocks To Buy [Or Sell] This Week

OLB Group Inc.

OLB Group is a tech company that provides e-commerce merchant services and also operates as a Bitcoin crypto mining enterprise. The company’s platform delivers cloud-based services, providing a comprehensive digital commerce solution to over 9,500 merchants in all 50 states. Its DMint subsidiary engages in the mining of Bitcoin utilizing sustainable natural gas and has an initial deployment of 1,000 ASIC-based S19j Pro 96T mining computers projected by the end of 2021. OLB stock closed Tuesday’s trading session up an impressive 87.36% at $8.60 a share.

This latest rally seems to be coming from a piece of news that the company released today. Notably, OLB Group announced it is ready to process Mastercard (NYSE: MA) Bitcoin payments immediately. Merchants utilizing OLB’s OmniSoft business management platform and the company’s SecurePay Payment Gateway Platform will be able to activate Mastercard cryptocurrency transaction processing at any time.

OLB’s platform supports the processing of multiple cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and DAI across all merchant platforms. The gateway provides traditional credit and debit card processing, digital wallet services, and crypto commerce functions including conversion to fiat currencies, as well as end-to-end cryptocurrency transactions. “The recent announcement from Mastercard that it is supporting cryptocurrency should accelerate public acceptance of Bitcoin and other currencies for conducting everyday business,” said OLB CEO Ronny Yakov. “We have enabled crypto commerce throughout our OmniSoft and SecurePay portfolio which enables merchants to offer a broad choice of payment options that match customer’s expectations.” Given this piece of news, will you consider adding OLB stock to your portfolio?
