U.S. equities added roughly $700 billion in market value at the opening bell Wednesday, Nov 11, as investors continued to buy into technology shares. The S&P 500 index climbed above 7,600 during the early session, bringing the benchmark within 3% of its all-time record high.
The surge follows a period of intense volatility for Wall Street. The rally on Wednesday comes after a Tuesday pullback that saw the S&P 500 close down 0.38% at 7,521.50 and the Nasdaq fall 0.69%. These swings follow a massive rebound on Monday, when the S&P 500 rose 2.35%—its best day since April—even as Nvidia fell 4.3% following the launch of an independent probe into CEO Jensen Huang.
