Bullish rebound in markets following Nvidia earnings

Despite concerns expressed in yesterday's minutes from the Federal Reserve meeting about potential dangers associated with early interest rate cuts, markets returned to a bullish stance. This bullish sentiment was fueled by better-than-expected financial results from Nvidia, with stock spiking by over 9% after the closing of the Wall Street cash session.
