US Stock Market Today: Wall Street soars after blockbuster Nvidia earnings, jobs data
Wall Street climbed on Thursday after Nvidia released exceptionally strong earnings, which significantly boosted market sentiment towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) equities.
AI chip giant Nvidia, which remains the most valuable company on Wall Street, saw its share price rise by 5% after the firm reported a robust quarterly profit that exceeded analysts' estimates. It also provided a revenue forecast that, once again, easily surpassed market expectations.
In addition, investors were further encouraged by solid September jobs data, which indicated a resilient US economy.
A Labour Department report issued on Thursday showed that recruitment by US employers was stronger in September than economists had anticipated, although the unemployment rate also deteriorated marginally.
At the opening bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 428.7 points, or 0.93%, to 46567.51. The S&P 500 rose 95.8 points, or 1.44%, to 6737.93, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 492.8 points, or 2.18%, to 23057.001.
