Stock market today: Tech leads stocks higher as Nvidia surges to record high
Published On Jan 6, 2025, 4:31 PM
On January 6, 2025, U.S. stocks experienced an upward trend, largely fueled by gains in semiconductor stocks such as Nvidia and Micron due to Foxconn's strong sales forecast. The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the gains, rising by 1.2%. Investors are anticipating upcoming job data release later in the week, while Nvidia's CEO is set to present at the CES tech conference, stoking excitement about the company's AI chip developments. Meanwhile, the dollar weakened amidst evolving tariff plans under President-elect Trump and the resignation of Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, which might recalibrate U.S.-Canada trade relations. Disney announced a merger of its Hulu + Live TV with FuboTV, notable for a 250% surge in Fubo's stock. Bitcoin also crossed the $100,000 mark, further illustrating a positive market sentiment.
