Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 Rise on Nvidia Boost as Dow Jones Lags
US stock markets moved higher on Thursday as strong Nvidia earnings and an upbeat revenue outlook revived optimism around the artificial-intelligence sector. The technology-heavy Nasdaq benefited most from the rally, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged behind.
Nvidia shares surged around 8.7% after the company delivered stronger-than-expected results and projected robust future revenue growth. The outlook helped ease concerns that spending on AI infrastructure could slow and provided a fresh catalyst for technology stocks.
The S&P 500 gained around 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite advanced about 1.6%. The Dow rose only around 0.2%, highlighting the stronger performance of technology-related stocks.
Nasdaq 100 Outlook
The Nasdaq 100 remains supported by strong technology-sector momentum following Nvidia's results. The 7,800 area is highlighted as an important upside level, while 7,600 remains a key support zone in the broader technical outlook.
A sustained move above resistance could reinforce the bullish structure, while a break below support could signal that investors are beginning to take profits following the technology-led rally.
S&P 500 Outlook
The S&P 500 also benefited from the Nvidia-led technology rally. Strong earnings from major technology companies continue to support the index, although higher Treasury yields and uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policy remain potential headwinds.
The 7,600 and 7,800 levels are important areas to monitor for the broader index outlook, with continued strength in technology stocks likely to remain an important driver.
Dow Jones Outlook
The Dow Jones has lagged its technology-heavy counterparts as investors favor AI and semiconductor stocks. The 53,000 level remains an important psychological and technical reference for the index.
A sustained move above 53,000 could support further gains, while failure to hold the area could increase the risk of a deeper pullback.
Market Outlook
Nvidia's earnings have temporarily shifted market attention away from inflation concerns and toward the strength of the AI investment cycle. However, traders are now turning their attention to Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole speech for clues about future interest-rate policy.
For now, 53,000 on the Dow Jones, 7,600 support and 7,800 resistance remain important levels to watch as investors assess whether the Nvidia-led rally can continue.
