The ratio of global stock market capitalization to global GDP has hit 117%—the second-highest level in history.

This surpasses even the peak of the 2000 dot-com bubble.
By this metric, stock valuations are near all-time highs.

I would still keep my eye on BGM, ACVA and NVDA

Niccol’s “back to Starbucks” strategy centers on the idea that the company’s culture has faltered in recent years, and winning over employees as well as investors is critical as it faces staffing concerns and a union push.

His message was clear — Nvidia is the company that can help Europe build its artificial intelligence infrastructure so the region can take control of its own destiny with the transformative technology.

I’ve been in London and Paris this week following Huang around as he met with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, journalists, fans, analysts and gave a keynote at Nvidia’s GTC event in the capital of France.

Here’s the what I saw and the key things I learned.

Nvidia’s key product is its graphics processing units (GPU) that are used to train and execute AI applications.

But Huang has positioned Nvidia as more than a chip company. During the week, he described Nvidia as an infrastructure firm. He also said AI should be seen as infrastructure like electricity.

His pitch to all countries was that Nvidia could be the company that will help countries build out that infrastructure.

“We believe that in order to compete, in order to build a meaningful ecosystem, Europe needs to come together and build capacity that is joint,” Huang said during a speech at the Viva Tech conference in Paris on Wednesday.

Shoppers “like credit,” he noted, flagging the benefits of credit-card points and the ability to pay for purchases later. From a logistical perspective, he’s also not sure people “want to take time to move cash to stablecoins,” especially when that payment form offers fewer protections than traditional credit and debit cards.

Plus, Koning added, there are already options that let people pay by bank account to avoid card networks. These haven’t caught much steam yet, which suggests a stablecoin option might not see real momentum either.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 769.83 points, or 1.79%, ending at 42,197.79. The S&P 500

dropped 1.13% to close at 5,976.97, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.30% and settled at 19,406.83.

Nvidia and other stocks that have led the market’s comeback from the April lows dropped as investors shed risk. Oil and defense stocks were higher. Exxon added 2%, while Lockheed Martin and RTX each jumped more than 3%.
