Tech shares led a rebound on Thursday, with the sector rising more than 1%. The S&P technology sector is down 1.7% for the month, compared to a 1.4% drop in the broader S&P index. Microsoft is up about 1.4% in that time frame.Cloudera has also rallied 37% in the past month after activist investor Carl Icahn revealed a new stake in the data analytics company. Icahn told CNBC's Scott Wapner on "" Thursday that aside from some opportunities like Cloudera, he's far from bullish on the broader market.
