Tesla Allows Another Firm To Stick A Plug In Them

Semiconductor stocks remain the focus of investors and traders, with Nvidia and Super Micro Computer pushing to all-time highs. The industry is starting the week with several analyst upgrades as Wall Street continues to chase these companies higher. 🌠

Despite the growing concern that the fundamentals may not fully support these short-term surges in price, the path of least resistance remains higher.

Nvidia earnings re-ignited the animal spirits in the market, causing the stock and major indexes to reach several new milestones. Let’s check’em out. 👇

Firstly, a 16% rise in the stock today caused its market cap to rise $277 billion, the largest one-day increase of any stock in history. Secondly, today’s move put it firmly ahead of Google and Amazon as the fourth-largest stock in the world (Saudi Aramco not pictured below). It also moved it a stone’s throw away from $2 trillion. 🤩

Nvidia’s evil plan to take over the stock market was put on hold today despite labor market data helping build the case for a June rate cut. 🤔

The February jobs report showed that nonfarm payrolls rose by 275,000, topping the 198,000 expected. However, the previous two months’ numbers were revised lower by 167,000 jobs, causing the unemployment rate to jump to 3.90% and signaling a further softening of the labor market. 🔻
