Nvidia has become the first public company to surpass a $5 trillion market cap, exceeding the combined stock markets of all countries except the United States, China, and Japan.
The company's shares increased by 5.6% to $212.19 on Wednesday, driven by news that US President Donald Trump plans to discuss Nvidia's Blackwell chips with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Investors are also optimistic about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's comments on expecting $500 billion in AI chip sales and building seven new supercomputers for the US.
