The broad market enthusiasm underscored sustained investor confidence in the secular growth drivers reshaping the technology sector.
Meanwhile, currency markets reflected significant shifts in global monetary dynamics, with the Japanese yen declining to its lowest point against the U.S. dollar since 1986.
