TAIPEI — Major U.S. stock indices concluded the trading day at unprecedented levels on Monday, propelled by a wave of corporate earnings that significantly outpaced analyst projections. The S&P 500 closed at 5,124.32, marking its highest settlement in the index's history.

The rally was primarily led by the technology and semiconductor sectors, which have seen a resurgence in investor interest following new reports of accelerated artificial intelligence adoption across enterprise environments. Market analysts noted that the robust performance of the "Magnificent Seven" stocks contributed to over 60% of the day's gains.

"We are seeing a profound verification of the fundamental strength within the commercial landscape," said Elena Rodriguez, lead strategist at GNA Intelligence. "Despite the persistent discourse surrounding federal interest rates, the actual performance of the major corporations continues to demonstrate a high degree of operational efficiency and revenue growth."

Commodities saw mixed performance, with gold prices rising slightly to $2,150 per ounce as some investors sought hedges against potential volatility. Crude oil, however, experienced a marginal decline as global supply concerns began to ease following reports of increased production quotas from key regional exporters.

In the currency markets, the U.S. dollar remained relatively stable against a basket of major currencies, though it saw slight weakening against the Euro following positive economic data from the European Union's industrial core.

The trading volume on the New York Stock Exchange was 15% above the 30-day moving average, indicating a high level of institutional conviction in the current price action. Analysts anticipate that the current momentum may persist through the remainder of the fiscal quarter, provided that upcoming employment data remains within expected ranges.
