Meanwhile, speculative positions on the AI economy returned as after Broadcom's earnings ignited a selloff in chip producers last week.

Nvidia gained 2% while Micron and Marvell jumped over 4% each, with the latter set to join the S&P 500 later this month.

AI infrastructure and datacenter investment will be tested yet again on Wednesday evening with Oracle's earnings.

Its shares were 2% higher.

US Equities Trim Rebound
US equities trimmed earlier gains to trade mixed on Monday as the muted momentum in most sectors was offset by a fresh rally for chip producers. The S&P 500 gained 0.5% while the Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.7%. Iran stated it ended its military operation in Israel and Tel Aviv signaled it paused attacks on Iran, driving energy prices and bond yields to ease from session peaks. The improvement in demand for risk was aligned with bullish signals on chip production by Nvidia CEO Huang, driving markets to pivot back to speculative AI infrastructure companies following their selloff last week. Nvidia added 1.5% while Micron, Intel, and Applied Materials surged 10%. In turn, the Dow edged below the flatline on lingering concerns of high interest rates. AbbVie, Microsoft, and Visa dropped around 2%. Inflation data due later this week is expected to confirm accelerating prices in an economy that has posted strong jobs growth, consolidating bets of a rate hike by the Fed this year.
