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.

Silver gained nearly 1% to $81.15, outperforming gold. Industrial demand narrative continues to dominate the gold-silver ratio compression.

Silver's dual role — industrial metal plus monetary hedge — makes it the better play in a risk-on, inflation-worried environment. Solar panel demand keeps a floor under prices.

Gold-silver ratio near 57.7 — if gold breaks below $4,650, silver follows regardless of industrial demand. Watch $79.50 support.
