<\/div>\n

US stocks opened higher on Thursday as investors reacted to strong earnings from technology companies and optimism surrounding the US-China summit. <\/p>\n

The continued momentum in artificial intelligence-linked semiconductor stocks despite persistent inflation concerns.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 387 points, reclaiming the 50,000 level it reached earlier this year.<\/p>\n

S&P 500 gained about 0.34%, while Nasdaq Composite also moved higher by 0.30% after the benchmark indexes closed at fresh record highs on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The advance came even after recent inflation reports reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve may keep interest rates elevated for longer.<\/p>\n

Cisco earnings and Nvidia rally lift futures<\/h2>\n

Technology stocks continued to drive market gains, led by strong moves in Cisco Systems and Nvidia.<\/p>\n

Cisco shares surged roughly 16.5%<\/a> after the networking giant reported fiscal third-quarter results and guidance that exceeded Wall Street expectations.<\/a><\/p>\n

The company also announced plans to cut nearly 4,000 jobs as part of a broader restructuring effort.<\/p>\n

The rally in Cisco helped boost the Dow significantly, with investors also responding positively to raised annual revenue forecasts tied to increased demand from hyperscale customers.<\/p>\n

Nvidia shares rose 2.49% after Reuters reported that the US government had cleared about 10 Chinese companies to purchase Nvidia\u2019s H200 artificial intelligence chips, though deliveries have not yet begun.<\/p>\n

The gains added to a broader semiconductor rally that has helped push US equities to record highs in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Micron Technology and other AI-linked chipmakers also continued to attract investor demand amid expectations of sustained infrastructure spending tied to artificial intelligence development.<\/p>\n

Trump-Xi summit remains in market focus<\/h2>\n

Markets also closely monitored developments from President Donald Trump\u2019s summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Trump traveled with a delegation that included Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Tesla CEO Elon Musk as discussions focused on trade, technology access, tariffs, and the ongoing Iran conflict.<\/p>\n

Chinese President Xi reportedly told Trump that trade negotiations were progressing but warned that tensions over Taiwan could damage relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Iran and global energy markets also remained central to the discussions.<\/p>\n

A White House official said both sides agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open as disruptions linked to the Iran conflict continue affecting oil prices and global supply chains.<\/p>\n

Investors viewed Huang\u2019s participation in the summit as a potentially positive signal for future Nvidia business opportunities in China.<\/p>\n

Inflation concerns persist despite market optimism<\/h2>\n

The rally in equities came despite growing concerns that inflation pressures may remain elevated longer than previously expected.<\/p>\n

Recent consumer and producer price reports both showed stronger-than-expected increases, driven partly by higher energy costs tied to the Middle East conflict.<\/p>\n

Producer prices rose 1.4% in April, marking the largest monthly increase since March 2022.<\/p>\n

The inflation data has prompted traders to scale back expectations for Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts.<\/p>\n

According to CME Group\u2019s FedWatch Tool, markets are now pricing in more than a 28% chance of a quarter-point rate increase by year-end, up from roughly 21% one week earlier.<\/p>\n

The Labor Department reported that initial jobless claims rose to 211,000 for the week ended May 9<\/a>, an increase of 12,000 from the previous week and slightly above economists\u2019 expectations of 205,000. <\/p>\n

Continuing claims, which are reported with a one-week lag, increased by 24,000 to 1.78 million.<\/p>\n
