On Wednesday, the U.S. stock market rose, driven by Nvidia's gains following Meta's announcement of a partnership to use Nvidia's AI technology. The S&P 500 approached its all-time high, while the Dow and Nasdaq also experienced gains. Nvidia's rise highlights the potential upside of AI for the market, but concerns remain about the costs of AI investment and its potential to disrupt various industries. Despite these worries, positive earnings reports from companies like Cadence Design Systems and Analog Devices contributed to the market's upward trend. Cadence Design Systems climbed 9.5% and Analog Devices rose 2% after delivering both profit and revenue for the latest quarter that topped analysts’ expectations.
