Nvidia Hits $5 Trillion Market Cap as Tech Stocks Lead Market Rally
U.S. equities soared to record highs ahead of the Federal Reserve's anticipated rate decision, with Nvidia becoming the first company to reach a $5 trillion market valuation. The chipmaker's stock surged following a showcase of new AI partnerships, underscoring Wall Street's insatiable appetite for artificial intelligence plays.
Caterpillar and Teradyne joined the rally, posting earnings beats fueled by AI-related demand. Meanwhile, financial tech firm Fiserv cratered after disappointing results and executive shakeups—a stark reminder of the market's punishing selectivity toward underperformers.
