Nvidia Hits $4 Trillion: Wall Street Cheers, Tariffs Loom, and Everyone Sweats
Out where the highways hum and Wall Street’s sleepless traders hunch over glowing screens, the tickers spun their yarns sideways and skyward. The Nasdaq—child of the Great Electronic Plains—ran ahead like a coyote chasing a rabbit, leaving the Dow and the S&P to dust off their boots and soldier on behind. All the while, July 9 sun beat down on their backs (figuratively, for they haven’t seen daylight in years).
Nvidia, oh lord—there’s a name you can say whistle-whisper in a saloon. The folks at that chip barn managed to climb high enough to smack their heads on a $4 trillion ceiling—first ever to do it, and the ceiling just gets higher. If stocks were apples, that’s a whole orchard of them, plus the neighbor’s pears and some extra peaches for the road. 🍏🍎🍑 Microsoft and Apple looked on, a little envious, as if their horses suddenly ran out of oats. Turns out, everyone wants what Nvidia’s selling: silicon for the Great AI Gold Rush (and not exactly at a discount, either).
But out beyond the city’s glowing towers, storm clouds gathered—Trump, fresh off a breakfast of headline clippings, threatened to slap tariffs around like a parent at bedtime. Philippines, Iraq, Moldova, Algeria—each got their invoice, marked 20 to 30 percent extra, like a bad tip at a mediocre diner. The world’s traders took to nervous foot, eyes darting between ticker and tweet.
Trump issued tariff threats to 20 countries this week
Yes, you heard right—twenty countries, because when he plays, he wants a big stage. This batch of tariff threats floated out into the smoky July air and started ticking—August 1 is now the new D-Day, moved from July 9 because, apparently, even tariffs need a vacation. Maybe next week it’ll be Halloween. 🎃
Now Wall Street squints at the horizon, asking if this is just a negotiation jig, or if soon we’ll all be paying $17 for an imported potato. One thing’s for sure: when America dances, the whole world feels the floor shake. And everyone wonders if tomorrow brings boom, bust, or just another headline about a company you can’t quite pronounce hitting more zeros than your grandma’s bingo card. 🤠
