The broad index of American stocks S&P 500 and technological Nasdaq Composite reached their two-week highs during trading on February 25. The growth was provided by the securities of technology companies, which are popular ahead of the publication of the quarterly report of the most expensive company by market capitalization - Nvidia.
The S&P 500 added more than 0.5% in trading on February 25, rising to 6936.2 points; the Nasdaq Composite was up more than 1%, rising to 23139.79 points at its intraday high on February 25. Both indices last traded at this level on February 11.
The Dow Jones blue-chip index (+0.41%) is also trading in the green zone on Wednesday. In contrast, the Russell 2000 index of small and mid-cap companies is down 0.18% - MarketWatch notes this indicates that today's trading is still not characterized by a widespread increase in risk appetite.
All the attention of market participants today is focused on Nvidia (its shares are growing by more than 2%), notes Reuters: after the markets close in the United States on February 25, the company will publish its quarterly report. Investors are waiting for confirmation that the chip maker's profits will grow thanks to multi-billion-dollar capital expenditures of bigtechs on AI.
