Stocks Hit New Highs on AI Optimism

RiskReversal Recap: Monday, September 22

MARKET WRAP

The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all reached new all-time highs, fueled by Nvidia's $100 billion partnership with OpenAI and renewed optimism for artificial intelligence investments. Nvidia (+4%) hit a new high on the announcement. The move is expected to drive continued earnings and share price growth into 2026 and beyond. Oracle (+6%) also saw gains after announcing a leadership change and Apple (4%) benefited from strong new iPhone sales. The major indexes recently posted record weekly advances after the Fed’s first rate cut since December, and investors expect more cuts by year end if inflation remains subdued.
