Nvidia leapt more than 7 per cent, pacing the Nasdaq Composite to its first-ever close above 17,000 points.“It’s all about technology and the winners continue to be the winners, specifically Nvidia,” Michael James, managing director of equity trading at Wedbush Securities in Los Angeles, told Reuters.

The stock ended the session flat. “Year-ahead inflation expectations edged up slightly to 5.4 per cent from 5.3 per cent, but they remain lower than where they were a year ago,” Oxford’s Grace Zwemmer said in a note.
Nvidia rose as high as $US1149.39 in New York trading overnight. That temporarily lifted its founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s wealth to more than $US100 billion.
