US Stock Market Today: Dow Retakes 50,000 as AI Rally Sends S&P 500, Nasdaq to Records

U.S. stocks climbed in after-hours trade Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average reclaimed the 50,000 mark, while both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notched new records. A pop in Cisco fueled renewed appetite for artificial intelligence names. Reuters pointed to tech shares as the main driver, with Cisco, Nvidia, and Cerebras drawing focus for their ties to AI spending. Why it matters now: Stocks climbed despite oil-fueled inflation dimming rate-cut prospects. Investors are pinning expectations on earnings and AI capex, while the Federal Reserve has shown little sign of shifting toward looser policy for equities.

Dow Jones Live Update: 50,000 Is Back in Play as Cisco Surge Lifts Wall Street

The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 198.31 points, or 0.40%, to 49,891.51 late in the morning, edging closer to that 50,000 threshold. Cisco’s post-earnings rally and renewed strength in artificial-intelligence stocks helped lift U.S. equities. The S&P 500 added 0.54%, with the Nasdaq Composite up 0.60%. Numbers are from Reuters’ U.S. markets page, citing LSEG data with at least a 15-minute delay. This time, a tight cluster of big tech and AI-related stocks are steering the market’s record-breaking streak—even as worries about sticky inflation, oil swings, and a Federal Reserve in no rush to lower rates continue to hang over investors. According to Reuters, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq notched new intraday highs, thanks to gains in Nvidia and Cisco. Traders kept an eye on U.S.-China discussions and the latest economic numbers.

US Stock Market Live: Why Wall Street Is Hitting Records Even With Inflation Running Hot

US Stock Market Live: Why Wall Street Is Hitting Records Even With Inflation Running Hot

Stocks climbed on Thursday in the U.S., pushing the S&P 500 and Nasdaq to new intraday highs. Nvidia and Cisco fueled the advance, keeping Wall Street in the green despite a streak of stronger-than-expected inflation numbers. This shift is significant: investors keep piling into the artificial-intelligence trade even as the macro outlook turns rougher. Ordinarily, pricier markets spell trouble for high-growth names, yet earnings, chip demand, and bets that the U.S.-China summit won’t inflame trade tensions are keeping things afloat.

US Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Rise as Cisco’s AI Surge Tests Wall Street’s Inflation Nerves

US Stock Market Today: Dow Futures Rise as Cisco’s AI Surge Tests Wall Street’s Inflation Nerves

U.S. stock futures ticked up early Thursday, with Wall Street eyeing fresh record territory as Cisco’s AI-driven rally in premarket trading kept tech names in the spotlight. Futures contracts showed the Dow up 0.24%, Nasdaq 100 ahead by 0.41%, and the S&P 500 gaining 0.19% as of 5:35 a.m. EDT, according to TipRanks. Investors are once more weighing if AI-fueled investment and profits can outpace the latest rate jolt. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both finished at new all-time highs on Wednesday, recovering on the back of chipmakers and tech giants. This came even as the Producer Price Index—a key gauge of what businesses are paid—jumped 1.4% in April, marking its steepest monthly climb in four years.

Nokia Stock Surges Again as Cisco’s AI Orders Put New Heat Under the Network Trade

Nokia Stock Surges Again as Cisco’s AI Orders Put New Heat Under the Network Trade

Nokia Oyj jumped for a second straight session Thursday, buoyed by a surge in network-equipment stocks after Cisco reported robust demand for AI-related infrastructure. The Finnish group’s shares gained roughly 10% early, according to MarketScreener data, recapturing territory last seen 16 years ago. On Wednesday, Nokia’s U.S. ADR ended up 11.69% at $14.71. This shift is catching attention—investors aren’t just seeing Nokia as a slow-moving telecom shop anymore. There’s a broader argument in play: as demand for AI data centers climbs, so does the need for faster networking, optical transport, and automation. Some of that spend could flow Nokia’s way, instead of just boosting chipmakers.

Cisco Stock Near a Record High as AI Orders Set Up a Tough Earnings Test

Cisco Stock Near a Record High as AI Orders Set Up a Tough Earnings Test

Cisco Systems popped back into pre-earnings momentum territory, closing out Monday at $98.72, up 2.23%. Shares briefly touched $98.83 during the session—marking the loftiest level in the recent data set. Investors are now awaiting fiscal third-quarter numbers, due after the bell Wednesday. The logic is straightforward. Cisco’s being picked up by investors less for its reputation in legacy enterprise hardware, more for its exposure to AI networking—an angle that’s getting play ahead of actual results. Options traders, according to data from Investing.com, are bracing for a move of about 5.8% post-earnings, with contracts implying a swing of that magnitude in either direction.

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Wall Street’s Record Rally Faces a Make-or-Break CPI Week

S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new highs as Wall Street starts the week, and that leaves little margin for disappointment on inflation, consumer spending, or the oil market, still unsettled by the Iran war. On Friday, the S&P 500 closed up 0.84% at 7,398.93. Nasdaq jumped 1.71% to 26,247.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, barely moving, ended 0.02% higher at 49,609.16, according to Reuters. Buyers are back, no question. Last week, the S&P 500 climbed 2.3%, while the Nasdaq jumped 4.5%. Both notched record closes Friday, lifted by a jobs report that beat expectations, according to AP.

Cisco Systems Stock Jumps Before Q3 Earnings as AI Orders Face a Big Test

Cisco Systems Stock Jumps Before Q3 Earnings as AI Orders Face a Big Test

Cisco Systems stock surged Friday, jumping 4.7% to $96.52 and touching $97.00 earlier in the session. Investors snapped up shares of the network-equipment giant before its fiscal third-quarter report—a key moment for Wall Street’s take on the company’s artificial intelligence ambitions, market data showed. Timing is key here. Cisco has spent the last year pushing the idea that AI-driven data-center demand should translate beyond just order books, delivering real gains in both revenue and margins. The company’s report on May 13 lands after a broad rally across U.S. stocks and a robust tech-led earnings stretch that’s continued to steer investors toward the bigger technology plays.

Dow Jones Today: Blue-Chip Index Barely Rises as AI Rally Sends Nasdaq, S&P 500 to Records

The Dow Jones Industrial Average barely budged Friday, eking out a 0.02% gain to close at 49,609.16. Blue chips found some footing after a solid U.S. jobs report, but tech stocks dominated the action. The S&P 500 climbed 0.84% to 7,398.93, while the Nasdaq Composite surged 1.71% to 26,247.08. The split is in focus as Wall Street debates if the rally’s lost breadth. The Dow—still price-weighted, still just 30 big U.S. names—trailed once more, while chip stocks and AI plays hauled the major indexes to new records.

Cisco Systems’ Quantum Switch Push Puts Networking Giant in Race for the Next Internet

Cisco Systems’ Quantum Switch Push Puts Networking Giant in Race for the Next Internet

Cisco Systems, Inc. unveiled a switching chip it claims links multiple kinds of quantum computers—staking out a spot in quantum tech while steering clear of making the machines themselves. The San Jose network gear company introduced its prototype, dubbed the Cisco Universal Quantum Switch, saying it’s able to route quantum data via existing telecom fiber and does it all at room temperature. Timing is key here. Quantum computing is still largely confined to research, yet big tech players are already working to shape the standards for how these machines will connect, secure data, and expand. Cisco, echoing the pitch that fueled its legacy business, argues that the network is just as critical as the machines themselves.

Cisco Systems folds Splunk into Nexus One to speed AI data center troubleshooting

Cisco Systems is now plugging Splunk analytics into its Nexus Dashboard, the control hub within its Nexus One platform, aiming to speed up network fault detection and push automated fixes for data-center and campus environments. The rollout applies to Nexus 9000 as well as Cisco 8000 switches and routers that are managed via the dashboard. This is a key test for Cisco, which is under pressure to prove its $28 billion Splunk deal isn’t just padding software revenue. AI-heavy operators are facing spikier, less-forgiving traffic flows and need to parse telemetry—live machine data that reveals network health—while keeping sensitive logs on-site.
