Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Asian equities and US stock futures rose Thursday in a sign of fresh momentum in global equities after Nvidia Corp. unveiled a better-than-expected revenue forecast.
Japanese shares rallied, supported by a depressed yen, with the Nikkei 225 Index briefly surpassing its 1989 closing record high. Elsewhere, Hong Kong and China mainland benchmarks all rose while Australian stocks erased early losses. The moves lifted a gauge of the region’s equities to its highest level in almost two years.
Gains in the US contracts during Asian hours were spurred on by Nvidia results. The tech company’s shares soared as much as 11% in post-market trade after it said first-quarter revenue would likely hit $24 billion, above prior estimates of around $22 billion.
