United States equities rallied and European benchmarks hit record highs on Wednesday afternoon, driven by an optimistic artificial intelligence demand outlook from neocloud firm COREWEAVE INC-CL A. CoreWeave shares surged 20%, while NVIDIA CORP rebounded to offset investor anxiety over potential Federal Reserve monetary tightening. The market gains persist despite recent central bank communication signaling possible rate hikes as inflation remains sticky.
