Nvidia Stock Rises 3.5% to Reclaim $5 Trillion Market Cap on Monday as U.S.-Iran Peace Deal Lifts Global Markets

According to Reuters, Nvidia shares surged 3.5% on Monday (June 16), lifting the AI chip giant's market capitalization back above the $5 trillion mark in its best session in over two weeks. The gain followed Sunday's U.S.-Iran peace deal announcement, which triggered broad gains across global markets.

Nvidia announced late Monday that it plans to raise $25 billion through a bond offering with tranches maturing through 2056, marking its first debt issuance in five years. The offering, which received $85 billion in bids, was increased from the initially planned $20 billion to establish a liquid benchmark for the company's cost of credit. However, retail sentiment for NVDA on Stocktwits dropped to 'extremely bearish' following the announcement, despite 24-hour message volume surging over 400%.
