market and tech sector.
The
Dow Jones Industrials popped 456.87 points, or 1.2%, to 39.069.11, to surpass 39,000 for the first time ever and close at a new high.

Shares of Nvidia popped 16.4% to an all-time high after the chip company said total revenue rose a whopping 265% from a year ago - driven by its booming artificial intelligence business.
