Global Markets Break Records: Trump, Nvidia, and Powell Change the Game

A global rally has erupted across markets. From New York to Tokyo, stocks are shattering records as three powerful forces converge — Donald Trump’s renewed trade momentum, Nvidia’s unstoppable rise, and Jerome Powell’s highly anticipated Fed statement.

U.S. Stocks Hit New Highs — S&P 500 Nears 7,000 Points Cautious optimism rules Wall Street. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2% on Tuesday, breaking above 6,900 points for the first time and inching closer to the historic 7,000 mark.

The Dow Jones gained 162 points (+0.3%), while the Nasdaq Composite led with an 0.8% jump. Even though futures moved only slightly after hours, traders know the real tension comes later — with Powell’s press conference likely to set the tone for the weeks ahead.

Asia Surges — But Japan’s Rally Rests on Two Giants Nvidia continues its meteoric ascent. The chipmaker’s shares surged past $204, driven by the booming AI market and renewed investor enthusiasm. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 jumped 2.17% to a record 51,307 points, but there’s a catch — more than 60% of those gains came from just two companies: Advantest and SoftBank.

Advantest skyrocketed after raising its earnings outlook, while SoftBank rode the AI wave higher. Analysts warn, however, that such narrow momentum could make the rally fragile. Elsewhere in Asia, South Korea’s Kospi rose 1.76% as tech stocks gained, while the Kosdaq slipped slightly. China’s Shanghai Composite gained 0.69%, and CSI 300 climbed 1%. Hong Kong remained closed for a holiday. Australia disappointed investors — the ASX 200 fell nearly 1% after inflation rose to 3.2%, the highest increase in over a year.

Bitcoin Stalls — Weak ETF Inflows, Strong Resistance Bitcoin remains trapped near $113,000, struggling to break free from its narrow trading range. Spot ETF inflows have turned positive again but remain weak — around 1,000 BTC per day, far below the 2,500+ BTC daily inflows seen during previous rallies. Support sits near $111,000, while $117,000 remains a heavy wall of selling pressure. The all-time high near $125,000 still feels out of reach for now.

Europe Cautious as Powell Looms European stock markets opened mixed: FTSE 100 hovered just below zeroDAX fell 0.4%CAC 40 slipped 0.16%FTSE MIB in Italy lost 0.12%. All eyes are on Jerome Powell. According to a CNBC Fed survey, 84% of traders expect another rate cut in December and 54% anticipate a third in January. By the end of 2026, the Fed’s benchmark rate could drop to around 3.2%.

Earnings Season Peaks A flood of earnings reports is set to dominate the week.

In the U.S., Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft will report after today’s market close, followed by Apple and Amazon tomorrow. Europe’s corporate calendar is equally busy — Airbus, UBS, Banco Santander, Deutsche Bank, BASF, Adidas, GSK, and Endesa all report Thursday, alongside Spain’s new GDP data release.

Summary Global markets are on fire — U.S. stocks are setting new highs, Asia is surging, and crypto remains in limbo. All attention now turns to Jerome Powell, whose next words could decide whether this wave of optimism becomes a lasting trend or fades overnight.

Will Powell’s remarks spark another wave of records — or cool the rally?
