On Thursday, US equity benchmarks experienced a notable rise, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbing 150.4 points (0.30%) to 49,843.58. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also saw increases of 10.1 points (0.14%) and 23.1 points (0.09%), respectively. This positive momentum was fueled by strong performances from Nvidia and Cisco, the latter's shares jumping 16.2% after the company raised its annual forecasts, citing robust demand for AI-specific products. Market optimism was further bolstered by expectations surrounding US-China talks, particularly regarding trade relations and potential resolutions to ongoing tensions. Additionally, US retail sales reported a 0.5% increase in April, although this was partly attributed to rising fuel prices following geopolitical tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.
