All three major Wall Street indexes closed at all-time highs Sunday despite a sharp rise in crude oil prices driven by concerns over a breakdown in Iran negotiations.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 46.42 points, or 0.09 percent, to close at 51,078.88. The S&P 500 gained 19.90 points, or 0.26 percent, to finish at 7,599.96, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite advanced 114.19 points, or 0.42 percent, to end at 27,086.81.
Nvidia led the market higher, surging more than 6 percent after the chipmaker unveiled a new processor designed to bring AI capabilities to personal computers.
The Kospi closed at the 8,780 level on Sunday, buoyed by a double-digit surge in Samsung Electronics and anticipation surrounding a visit to South Korea by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. The rally extended to shares of Doosan affiliates and other domestic companies expected to benefit from AI investment tied to Huang's visit.
