U.S. microprocessor giant Nvidia on Wednesday became the first company in the world to surpass the symbolic barrier of $5 trillion in market capitalization.

Shortly after Wall Street opened, its share price stood at $210.90 (+4.91%), breaking the $5 trillion barrier.

Share prices reached this new high thanks to optimism about U.S. trade deals, the artificial intelligence sector and an expected rate cut by the Federal Reserve.

President Donald Trump also expressed optimism on the eve of crucial trade talks with Xi Jinping.

Investors also await financial results from several tech giants: Microsoft, Alphabet (Google) and Meta (Facebook, Instagram) this Wednesday after market close, and then Apple and Amazon on Thursday night.
