- US stock market reached an all-time high as investors continued betting on AI, per Al Jazeera's headline framing.
- S&P 500 and Nasdaq both posted record closing highs, with WSJ running live updates on futures hovering near record territory and CNBC calling the S&P 500's ascent a "remarkable and defiant trip to a new record."
Why it matters: Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closing at record highs at the same time — with every outlet naming AI as the catalyst — shows the AI trade has stayed strong enough to lift the broad-market index and the tech-heavy index to all-time peaks simultaneously, a rare dual-record alignment.
