NEW YORK, New York -U.S. stock markets closed with broad gains on Thursday, led by strong performances in U.S. tech stocks, while European and Asian indices showed mixed movements.
The Nasdaq Composite and Standard and Poor's 500 hit new record highs following release of a favorable jobs report.
Nvidia closed with a market capitalization of $3.89 trillion, soon to eclipse Apple as the world's most valuable company.
"We are seeing a real bout of irrational exuberance; the stock market is very biased towards optimism," Kristina Hooper, Chief Market Strategist at Man Group in New York told CNBC Thursday. "But there's some basis for it. I think there is some level of relief because the jobs report was not as weak as it could have been."
