On Wednesday, technology stocks fueled a rally on Wall Street, pushing the S&P 500 up by 0.6% to a new all-time high, while the Nasdaq composite gained 1.2%. Key contributors included Micron Technology, which surged 4.8%, and ON Semiconductor, which rose 11.1%. Nvidia, a major player in the AI sector, increased by 2.3%, bolstered by discussions of potential shipments to China. In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped by 67 points or 0.1%. The market reacted to troubling inflation data, which showed wholesale prices rising more than anticipated. This followed a report indicating a similar trend in consumer inflation.

Despite these challenges, stock markets in Europe and Asia generally rose, with South Korea's Kospi leading the gains at 2.6%.
