Power Hour

On Thursday, May 14, 2026, major indexes surged into the final stretch of trading, driven by a revival in artificial intelligence stocks and optimism over the U.S.-China trade summit in Beijing: 

• S&P 500 (.INX): Up 0.64% to 7,492.33, hitting fresh intraday and closing all-time records.
• Nasdaq Composite (.IXIC): Advanced 0.77% to 26,604.97, posting another tech-driven record high.
• Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI): Gained 0.66% to 50,023.05, recrossing the historic 50,000 threshold. 

Primary Catalysts Driving EOD Volume

• Nvidia Fervor: Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) jumped over 4% after the U.S. cleared around 10 Chinese firms to purchase its H200 AI chips, pushing the company's valuation toward $6 trillion.
• Massive AI IPO: Cerebras Systems (CERE) soared over 70% in its highly anticipated trading debut, making it the largest public offering of 2026.
• Cisco Earnings Spike: Cisco Systems (CSCO) lifted the broader market, climbing roughly 13% after beating quarterly delivery projections and raising its sales forecast.
• Beijing Summit: Investors monitored discussions between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who reached a preliminary agreement regarding shipping protections in the Strait of Hormuz. 

Recent Crypto Catalysts

• Regulatory Milestone: The Senate Banking Committee voted 15-9 to advance the Clarity Act. This bipartisan progress fueled a sudden spike, pushing Bitcoin briefly to an intraday high of $82,000.
• Correlated Rally: The upward momentum matches today's equity surge driven by the Cerebras AI IPO debut and new chip clearances.
