AI Surge: NVIDIA’s $185.9 Leap—$200 in Sight?
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ NVIDIA shares soared to a fresh record high of $185.9 intraday, marking a fourth straight session of gains, as CEO Jensen Huang’s bullish AI outlook electrified the market. Huang’s vision of OpenAI as a potential multi-trillion-dollar giant, underpinned by his “three laws of AI scaling”—pre-training, post-training, and inference—signals massive long-term demand. The finance card above shows NVIDIA at $188.89, reflecting continued strength. Related plays like CoreWeave (up 15% on a $14.2B Meta deal) and Applied Digital and Nebius (both up 6%) also rallied. With the S&P 500 at 6,650 and Nasdaq at 22,200, can NVIDIA hit $200? Are you bullish on this AI juggernaut’s next move? Explore the momentum, assess the catalysts, and strategize your play in this tech titan’s ascent.
