In honor of Juneteenth, U.S. stock markets took a breather on Wednesday, June 19. However, the day before, the markets were anything but idle. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 tiptoed into record territory on what was otherwise a rather languid Tuesday for traders. The Dow Jones inched up by 57 points, or 0.2%. The S&P 500 nudged up by 0.3%, and the Nasdaq edged up by less than 0.1%. Notably, the Nasdaq nailed its seventh consecutive record close, while the S&P 500 achieved a record close for the sixth time in seven sessions.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang rockets to $119 billion net worth. Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, has climbed to the 11th spot on Forbes' real-time billionaire list, with his net worth soaring past $119 billion. This jump, driven by a 3% rise in Nvidia's stock to $135.70, makes Nvidia the world's most valuable public company. Huang, owning a 3% stake in Nvidia, started the year at $77 billion. Nvidia’s market cap surged 177% to $3.33 trillion, propelling Huang ahead of India's richest, Mukesh Ambani, and just behind former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. Huang plans to sell 600,000 shares by March 2025, potentially netting over $81.4 million.
