Quantum Computing Stocks Rally on U.S. Panel’s ’Quantum First’ Push
U.S. quantum computing stocks extended gains in pre-market trading, fueled by a federal advisory panel's call for a national 'Quantum First' initiative. Rigetti Computing (RGTI), IonQ (IONQ), and Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) ROSE 4%, 3%, and 1.86% respectively.
The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission's 2025 report urges Congress to secure American quantum dominance by 2030 through hardware investments, workforce development, and a dedicated software institute. China's state-backed quantum programs were flagged as competitive threats.
