The $DJ30 rose 276.31 points, or 0.55%, to close at a fresh record of 50285.66, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.09% to end at 26293.10. $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) delivered record quarterly revenue of 81.6 billion, substantially exceeding analysts' forecasts of approximately 78.6 billion on voracious artificial intelligence hardware demand. Despite this exceptional performance, Nvidia shares declined 1.8% as investors have come to expect the company not merely to beat estimates, but to exceed them by increasingly wide margins. $WMT (Walmart Inc.) delivered a stark counterpoint to the AI optimism narrative, tumbling 7.3% as traders focused on the company's cautious forecast and revealing commentary about diverging consumer behaviour, with CFO John David Rainey noting that the high-income consumer is spending with confidence across many categories, while the lower-income consumer is becoming more budget conscious. $OIL prices provided the session's most dramatic volatility, initially surging as much as 4% after Reuters reported that Iran's Supreme Leader had issued a directive that appeared to complicate negotiations, before reversing to close approximately 2% lower. WTI settled at 96.35 per barrel while Brent closed at 102.58, with both reaching their lowest levels in nearly two weeks. -Carlos $NSDQ100
