Wall Street edged higher as AI-linked stocks surged, with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Marvell Technology both experiencing significant gains of nearly 25%. Hewlett Packard Enterprise's stock soared after it reported record earnings, allowing the company to meet financial targets two years ahead of schedule. Similarly, Marvell Technology's stock benefited from positive comments by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who indicated that Marvell is well-positioned to achieve a market capitalization of $1 trillion. Alphabet also attracted attention with reports of an $80 billion capital increase aimed at bolstering its artificial intelligence investments, potentially involving $10 billion from Berkshire Hathaway. Despite these positive developments, geopolitical tensions, particularly between Washington and Tehran, continue to suppress risk appetite, as discussions appear stalled. Investors are closely watching upcoming macroeconomic data, including the ADP private payrolls survey and the official US jobs report, which could significantly influence the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions.
