Magnificent Seven ETF Up 14% in April as Big Tech Rally Faces Its First Real Test of the Week

The Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF has surged more than 14% in April alone — on track for its largest monthly gain on record — led by Tesla's 15% weekly rally and Microsoft's near-14% weekly gain, its best week since 2007.
