Nvidia Leads Charge as S&P 500 Seeks Historic Gain

The S&P 500 is poised to finish Thursday with a healthy gain of 0.77% as of this writing, but it's a thin rally. Despite this, 10 out of 11 sectors are trading lower.

Nvidia is the standout performer, contributing significantly to the index's gain. A dozen stocks are adding at least one percentage point to performance, with Nvidia leading the pack.

This historic day will depend on how things play out through the close, but for now, it's a promising start for investors.
