π Full Retelling
US markets saw the Nasdaq index climb more than 1% higher on February 25, 2026, driven by rising tech stocks ahead of Nvidia's earnings report, while gold prices continued their upward trend with JPMorgan analysts projecting further gains as investors sought both growth and safe-haven assets. The tech sector extended its recent rebound, with Nvidia shares gaining momentum as investors anticipated strong quarterly results that ultimately exceeded Wall Street's expectations, though some analysts expressed desires for more substantial cash returns from the semiconductor giant. Gold prices headed for their fifth day of gains in six trading sessions, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty and increasing investor interest in precious metals as inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions persisted. Additionally, ECOLAB INC. filed a Form 144 notice on February 25, indicating potential insider selling activity of the company's shares, adding another layer of market activity to an already eventful trading day.
