Market Response to AI’s Growing Influence

The rise of Nvidia to the leadership position in the global market cap highlights the growing role of AI in Wall Street. Some of the largest technology companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta have invested heavily in the advancement of AI with Nvidia providing the essential hardware. These companies’ dependence on the AI chips by Nvidia has helped the company to grow at a very fast rate and boosted other AI coins.

As per analyst, the stock and crypto rallies that are being driven by AI are set to keep on rising as more companies adopt AI in their operations. Nvidia alone makes up for 7% of the S&P 500 Index’s weight and has contributed to a quarter of its 21% gain this year. Concurrently, the AI-related stocks, such as Nvidia, have been among the strongest-performing stocks in 2024.

Despite these moves, Nvidia is facing regulatory scrutiny in its expansion efforts. The European Commission recently decided to review Nvidia’s planned $700 million acquisition of Israeli AI startup Run Labs Ltd.
