US stocks closed higher on Monday, buoyed by gains in technology shares and ongoing peace negotiations between the US and Iran. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 reached record closing highs, with the S&P 500 up by 20.19 points to 7,600.03, and the Nasdaq gaining 114.75 points to 27,087.37. A significant driver was Nvidia's unveiling of a new computer chip designed to incorporate artificial intelligence into personal computing, developed in collaboration with Microsoft. Concerns about the Iran conflict's impact on inflation and market stability lingered, especially after Iran announced a halt to indirect negotiations with the US.
