The stock market just hit another milestone — but the real story might surprise you. Overnight trading saw modest gains in Dow Jones futures, alongside upticks in S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures. Early Thursday, all eyes will be on Delta Air Lines (DAL) as it reports quarterly earnings, while Taiwan Semiconductor, a major supplier for Nvidia (NVDA), will unveil its September sales data.
Wednesday’s session was nothing short of remarkable. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq broke into fresh record territory, powered in large part by a wave of optimism sparked by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s upbeat outlook on artificial intelligence demand. Huang’s comments didn’t just lift Nvidia; they seemed to set the tone for the broader market. But here’s where it gets controversial — is this AI-driven rally sustainable, or is the market getting ahead of itself?
In related developments, other notable names are catching investor attention. Quanta Services, cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike, and AI fintech innovator Figure Technology are coming into sharp focus for traders seeking the next big opportunity. Analysts Ken Shreve and Ed Carson provided in-depth coverage of the day’s moves, dissecting what drove momentum and highlighting stocks worth watching in Thursday’s session.
The surge in enthusiasm over AI is impossible to ignore. However, some skeptics warn that the hype may inflate valuations beyond reasonable expectations. Are we witnessing the dawn of a long-term growth era, or another bubble waiting to burst? Let’s hear your take — do you believe AI’s potential justifies these record-breaking highs, or should investors tread more cautiously right now?
