Shares of Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) surged 24.1% in May, as reported by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The increase was driven by a significant rally in technology stocks following eased tariff tensions between the U.S. and China, which coincided with Nvidia’s earnings beat late in the month; however, the post-earnings gain represented only a fraction of the overall May increase. Additionally, the Trump administration’s agreements for substantial AI chip sales to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia further contributed to Nvidia’s stock performance during this period.
