Wall Street witnessed a notable uptick, thanks to significant contributions from tech and transportation sectors, particularly Nvidia Corporation NVDA and Uber Technologies UBER. Nvidia, a dominant force in the AI chip manufacturing realm, has seen considerable growth, with its stock market valuation escalating to a staggering $1.825 trillion.

Nvidia's Market Capitalization Milestone
