Major Market Indexes Rally as Tesla, SpaceX, and Goldman Sachs Drive Gains
On Thursday, major U.S. stock indexes saw significant gains after earlier expectations of a down week were reversed. The Nasdaq Composite rose by 1.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.1%, and the S&P 500 added 1%. Tesla (TSLA) led the Nasdaq rally with a nearly 7% increase, while SpaceX also contributed strongly to index gains due to its association with Elon Musk's broader ventures. Goldman Sachs was the biggest contributor to the Dow’s rise, gaining over 3.1%, which accounted for about one-third of the overall index movement. Microsoft and Travelers each added around 2.7%. Meanwhile, Nvidia (NVDA) announced a $12.9 billion acquisition bid for AI platform Hugging Face but saw only modest gains compared to previous speculation-driven moves. In contrast, semiconductor stocks like Broadcom fell after missing revenue estimates despite strong future guidance from its CEO.
