Wall Street Breaks 7,000 as AI Fever Soars and SpaceX IPO Buzz Shakes Markets
Wall Street has just crossed a line many investors once thought was years away and the ripple effects are being felt across the global financial system.
For the first time ever, the S&P 500 has surged past the 7,000 mark, a powerful psychological milestone that signals just how fast optimism has taken hold in US markets. This rally is being driven by one dominant force, artificial intelligence and by towering expectations around the world’s biggest technology companies.
Technology stocks now make up nearly half of the S&P 500 and investors are betting heavily that AI will reshape productivity, profits and power across industries. Earnings from giants like Microsoft, Meta and Tesla are under intense scrutiny, not just for revenue numbers, but for signs that AI spending is turning into real growth. The speed of this rise is striking. It took years for the index to climb earlier milestones. The latest leaps have taken months, not years.
But this surge is not happening in isolation.

At the same time, the US dollar has slid to a four-year low, rattling currency markets and pushing investors toward traditional safe havens like gold and the Swiss franc. Gold prices have smashed through record levels, a clear sign that while equities are celebrating, nerves are still present beneath the surface. A weaker dollar can help multinational companies, but it also raises concerns about inflation and global stability.
Then there is SpaceX.
Elon Musk’s rocket company is reportedly considering a blockbuster initial public offering that could value the firm at an astonishing 1.5 trillion dollars. If it goes ahead, it would instantly rank among the largest IPOs in history. The timing, possibly as early as June, has added fuel to market excitement and speculation, especially as investors look for the next mega-growth story beyond traditional tech stocks.
All of this matters because it reveals a market caught between confidence and caution. On one hand, investors are embracing innovation, growth and bold bets on the future. On the other, currency volatility, job cuts at major corporations and warnings about AI bubbles suggest risks are building alongside the gains.
This moment could mark the beginning of a new era for global markets, or a reminder of how quickly sentiment can shift.
Stay with us as we track how these forces collide, how policymakers respond and what it means for investors, businesses and economies worldwide.
