Market performance
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.08%, the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.08% and the S&P 500 added 0.33%. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 0.88%, extending its decline to a seventh straight session.
BIT market data cited by the report showed CoreWeave reversing from an intraday drop of more than 8% to a 5.94% gain amid default rumors. The report attributed comments about CoreWeave’s improving position and declining financing costs to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who said he did not think the operator needed an Nvidia rescue.
HTX data showed Bitcoin briefly falling below $80,000 before rebounding to $82,285.10 at the report snapshot. The PPI interpretation and all market prices are reported observations; the flash did not establish a causal link or provide the original source for Huang’s comments.
