Good evening, this is Markets Desk with your closing bell rundown.
Nvidia remains the center of gravity in the AI trade, with analysts pointing to a price target near two hundred forty-six dollars and eighty-five cents per share. The thesis is straightforward — hyperscaler capital expenditure on AI infrastructure is accelerating, not plateauing, and Nvidia sits squarely in that spending stream.
That AI optimism is moving markets well beyond Wall Street. South Korea's Kospi just posted its best monthly performance in twenty-eight years, a remarkable run driven largely by the same semiconductor and tech tailwinds lifting US markets. Geopolitical tension around Iran failed to derail the rally, which tells you how powerful the AI bid has become globally.
Shifting to autos, Stellantis shares dropped more than seven percent despite the Jeep and Chrysler parent actually beating first-quarter earnings expectations, posting adjusted operating income of roughly nine hundred sixty million euros. The selloff suggests investors are looking past one quarter and pricing in deeper structural concerns — tariff exposure, slowing demand, and a product lineup still searching for its footing in the EV transition.
That's the tape.
