Stock Indexes Settle Higher on Strength in Tech

THe Donald Trump SP Nasdaq Nvidia United States ADSK Dow Jones Industrial Average INTU

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Wednesday closed up +0.81%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.63%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +1.41%.  March E-mini S&P futures (ESH26) rose +0.81%, and March E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQH26) rose +1.41%.

Stock indexes rallied on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 posting a 1.5-week high and the Nasdaq 100 posting a 2-week high.  Strength in AI-infrastructure companies, software stocks, and chipmakers led the broader market higher.  Stocks have carryover support from Tuesday, when AI startup Anthropic PBC eased AI disruption concerns after saying its new AI tools for its Claude Cowork agent software will integrate rather than displace existing systems.  Also, optimism that Nvidia’s earnings results, released after Wednesday’s close, will show strong demand for its AI processors remains high.  Bloomberg estimates Nvidia’s Q4 revenue to be $65.91 billion.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
