On Thursday, worldwide stocks saw an upswing, largely driven by artificial intelligence fervor, which pushed South Korea's SK Hynix to the verge of joining the trillion-dollar company echelon. Meanwhile, international eyes were on the crucial summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's President Xi Jinping.

Trump received a grand welcome and engaged in talks with Xi at Beijing's Great Hall of the People on issues ranging from a delicate trade truce to geopolitical flashpoints like the Iran conflict and arms sales to Taiwan. Experts say the focus remains on maintaining the current status quo, considering the fragile diplomatic ground.

Market sentiment is cautiously optimistic as SK Hynix's stocks soar over 200% this year, bolstered by AI interests. However, concerns loom about elevated oil prices and geopolitical tensions, which could reignite inflation fears, challenging the bullish market trend seen in sectors like AI and tech.
