Stock market news today: Stocks rally after Fed decision, Nvidia surges

US stocks rallied on Wednesday as investors digested the Federal Reserve's latest decision to hold interest rates steady and a tech revival sent the Nasdaq surging. The S&P 500 rose by 1.4% while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite soared more than 2.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose a more modest 0.6%. Stocks maintained their gains for the day after the widely anticipated decision from the Fed.

Nvidia climbed over 11%, regaining ground lost in a steep drop on Tuesday in the halo of the results. Also on Wednesday, Morgan Stanley noted that the recent 25% drawdown in Nvidia stock presented a "good entry point," marking a sentiment shift in what's been an otherwise tough July for the AI leader. Elsewhere, Dutch chip gear giant ASML's stock surged about 6% after Reuters reported the US will exempt some foreign allies from new China curbs.
