Stock market today: S&P 500, KOSPI and DAX gain as Nvidia revives AI rally

Global stocks traded mostly higher on Thursday as Nvidia’s latest results reignited AI optimism and lifted technology shares from the U.S. to Asia, though inflation and interest-rate risks limited a broader risk-on move. S&P 500 e-mini futures rose 0.5% in later European trading. South Korea’s KOSPI jumped 1.8%, while Germany’s DAX futures edged up 0.1%. Pan-European futures gained about 0.4%, whereas FTSE 100 futures slipped 0.4%. Nvidia shares surged nearly 5% in after-hours U.S. trading after reporting fiscal second-quarter revenue of $96.2 billion and forecasting roughly $108 billion in Q3 revenue, assuming no Data Center compute revenue from China.
