NVIDIA experienced a significant stock market rally, reaching a market value exceeding $2 trillion, driven by expectations of continued investment in artificial intelligence. The surge in NVIDIA's stock price was fueled by strong quarterly earnings that surpassed Wall Street's forecasts, reflecting the growing importance of AI technology in the tech sector.
