US Stocks Rise as US-China Tensions Ease and AI Rally Lifts Indexes

US stocks rose across the board as expectations for easing US-China tensions combined with an AI-driven rally. At the US-China summit, President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping shared support for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open, a development that eased concerns around both US-China relations and tensions in the Middle East. Major indexes strengthened in response. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq reached record highs, while the Dow recovered the 50,000 level for the first time in three months. Investors viewed the move as the result of reduced geopolitical uncertainty and continued momentum in AI-related shares. The original report focuses on the leaders’ shared position and the index moves, so any concrete follow-up measures or further market reaction require additional confirmation. Source: mk.co.kr
