Thursday Wall Street:

📈 Dow +0.20%

📈 S&P 500 +0.72%

🚀 Nasdaq +1.57%

🤖 NVIDIA / AI

Nvidia surged 8.7% after strong earnings and a forecast for around 70% revenue growth next fiscal year, reigniting the AI and semiconductor rally.

🟡 GOLD

Gold held near $4,610.

Watch: $4,550-$4,600 / $4,650 / $4,700

A hawkish Fed message may pressure Gold through USD/yields; a more cautious tone may renew interest toward recent highs.

Oil rebounded as optimism over U.S.-Iran negotiations faded.
