The market saw a surge in buying on dips, driving a strong rebound in U.S. stocks on Wednesday, with the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq recovering all losses from the previous day. Enthusiasm for AI once again overshadowed concerns about its bubble, with the Nasdaq closing above 23,000 points for the first time in history. Chip stocks led the rally, with NVIDIA nearing its historical high and AMD continuing its strong trend.
The yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury rose by more than 2 basis points, reaching a daily high after the release of the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes. Amid concerns over Japan's fiscal spending, the yen fell for five consecutive days. Bitcoin briefly rebounded to $124,000, erasing most of Tuesday's losses. Driven by both government shutdown and interest rate cut expectations, gold maintained its upward momentum after breaking through $4,000, while silver rose by as much as 3.7% during the day.
