Nvidia Leads the U.S. Stock Market Higher

Nvidia's 2.2% gain and strong corporate profits pushed the S&P 500 within 1.4% of its record high, while Treasury yields rose ahead of Federal Reserve minutes.

  • On Wednesday, the U.S. stock market rose, led by Nvidia, which climbed 2.2% after Meta Platforms announced a long-term data-center partnership, driving the S&P 500 higher.
  • Several profit reports from companies helped lift stocks Wednesday as the Federal Reserve paused rate cuts, though many on Wall Street expect easing later this year; Treasury 10-year yield rose to 4.08% Tuesday.
  • Cadence Design Systems climbed 7.2% and Analog Devices rose 2.1% after beating profit and revenue estimates, helping offset an 8.7% slide for Palo Alto Networks on Wednesday.
  • The S&P 500 moved closer to its record, pulling within 1.4% of last month's high, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 222 points and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.8%.
  • Market dynamics reflect a wider rethink of AI-related investments as a Bank of America survey found a record percentage saying companies are `overinvesting`, pressuring AI-focused companies and individual listed companies facing investor reappraisal.
