Nasdaq closes at record high as tech rally lifts Asian stocks
En breve
The Nasdaq Composite closed at a record 27,480.28 on Monday, up 1.06 percent, while the S&P 500 rose 0.67 percent to 7,774.22 and the Dow added 0.18 percent to 51,274.32, WAM reported. Asian markets rose on Tuesday, with the Nikkei up 0.86 percent and Hong Kong's Hang Seng up 0.73 percent, though South Korea's KOSPI fell 1.21 percent. Nvidia gained 2.12 percent to a record high, giving it a market value of $5.76 trillion, as Brent crude held near $100 a barrel after falling 1.9 percent overnight.
Por qué importa
The record closes in New York set the direction for Asian markets the next session, so the rally and the pullback in oil are being read by regional outlets as a test of whether the tech-led advance can hold outside the United States. The documents also tie sentiment to expectations about Federal Reserve policy and to the approaching third-quarter earnings season, which Economy Middle East says is expected to be driven heavily by AI infrastructure spending.

Aún sin aclarar
- The reasons given for the rally differ: WAM cites gains in Nvidia and Microsoft and investors focusing on falling oil prices, while Economy Middle East cites softer-than-expected US jobs data reducing expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike this month The two outlets emphasise different drivers, and Economy Middle East's account of the jobs data and rate expectations appears only in that document
- Whether WAM's reference to Microsoft gains is supported elsewhere Only WAM names Microsoft among the stocks supporting the advance, so the claim rests on a single source
- European stock futures climbed 0.5 percent Single-source figure from Economy Middle East, and the document is truncated at the end
