Nasdaq 100 hit a new all-time high at 29,235 — a 2.35% surge led by semis after the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index also reached a record.

AI capex cycle is entering a new phase. Hyperscalers are spending faster than consensus, and the market is rewarding the entire supply chain — from chips to cloud to cooling.

30,000 round number is the next magnet. Earnings from Cisco and Applied Materials this week will test whether the AI narrative has more room.

NVIDIA gained 1.75% to $215.20, within 1.2% of its all-time high. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index hit a record, lifting the entire sector.

AI capex acceleration is the strongest tailwind in markets right now. Every hyperscaler is spending more than guided, and NVIDIA captures the lion's share of GPU demand.

ATH at $217.80 is the near-term test. Earnings May 28 loom large — any guidance miss after this run could trigger a 10%+ pullback.
