Apple Inc's market value jumped 11.2% to $2.95 trillion over the
past month, while Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) saw a 12.1% increase
in its market cap, reaching $2.8 trillion.
Nvidia Corp's market cap soared 14.7% to $1.15 trillion,
following its announcement of a 206% year-over-year revenue
increase to $18.1 billion in the third quarter. The firm also
projected higher-than-expected revenue for the fiscal fourth
quarter, citing improved supply chain conditions and robust
demand for its AI chips.
Easing inflation concerns also gave a big boost to banking
stocks. JPMorgan Chase & Co saw its market cap increase by 12.2%
to $451 billion by the end of November.
In other sectors, Tesla Inc's market value rose nearly 20% to
$763.2 billion last month, following a price hike for its Model
3 and Y vehicles in China. Despite the cessation of subsidies,
China recorded a surge in electric vehicle sales in October,
according to market research firm Rho Motion.
Conversely, a decline in oil prices led to a drop in the market
capitalisations of major oil firms. Saudi Arabian Oil Co and
Exxon Mobil Corp saw market caps fall by 0.3% and 2.9%,
respectively.
