Investing.com -- U.S. stock futures traded higher Thursday, as solid quarterly corporate earnings overshadowed concerns over interest rates remaining elevated for longer than expected.
Here are some of the biggest U.S. stock movers today:
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock soared over 10% after the chipmaker’s first quarter earnings blew past estimates, as well as offered up a stronger-than-expected revenue forecast for the current quarter, as it continued to benefit from strong demand in the growing AI industry.
Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) rose over 2%, with Nvidia’s peers benefiting from the continued AI demand, while memory chip maker Micron Technology (NASDAQ:MU) rose 3.8% and chip designer Arm Holdings (ARM) rose nearly 4%. Some chipmakers including AMD struggled to hold onto the gains.
