Nvidia and Apple shares push US stocks to new highs

VTV.vn - US stocks ended the session on September 22 in the green, as the strength of stocks from some leading technology giants helped major indexes set new records.

This is the third consecutive session that all three major Wall Street indexes conquered new highs, led by the technology index Nasdaq Composite which increased 0.7% to 22,788.98 points, followed by the S&P 500 index with a gain of 0.4% to 6,693.75 points and the Dow Jones industrial average increased 0.1% to 46,381.54 points.

In Europe, the situation was somewhat quieter. The FTSE 100 index in London (UK) was a rare bright spot, rising 0.1% to 9,226.68 points, while the CAC 40 index in Paris (France) fell 0.3% to 7,830.11 points and the DAX index in Frankfurt (Germany) lost 0.5% to 23,527.05 points.

Nvidia shares, a major component of all three Wall Street indexes, rose 4.0% to $183.61 after the chip company announced it would invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI to build infrastructure for next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Other tech stocks also posted strong gains, with Apple shares rising more than 4% to $256.08 on signs of strong demand for its latest smartphones.

Not all tech giants were up on September 22, however. Both Microsoft and Amazon fell after President Donald Trump ordered a $100,000 application fee for new H-1B skilled worker visas. Both companies employ many workers on this type of visa.

Global stock markets have enjoyed a strong rally in recent months, fueled by optimism that the US Federal Reserve will cut borrowing costs multiple times before the end of 2025 amid concerns about a weakening labor market. After recent economic reports reinforced those fears, the Fed last week cut borrowing costs by 25 basis points, marking its first cut this year.

Investors will listen to speeches from Fed policymakers this week. They will also await the release of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index report - the Fed's preferred inflation measure - on September 26 (local time).
