Wall Street barreled to all-time highs as its frenzy around artificial-intelligence technology keeps sending stocks higher.
The S&P 500 jumped 1.2% Wednesday to beat its record set two weeks ago. The Nasdaq composite rallied even more, 2%, to set its own all-time high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has less of an emphasis on tech, lagged the market with a gain of 0.2%.
The rally sent the total market value of Nvidia, which has become the poster child of the AI boom, above $3 trillion for the first time. Treasury yields eased following mixed data on the economy.
