**Asian markets surge as Nvidia earnings reignite AI rally**

Asian shares jumped sharply after Nvidia smashed expectations with its latest quarterly results, easing fears that the relentless AI-driven stock rally may have run too far, too fast.

Japan led the charge. The **Nikkei 225** surged as much as **4.2pc** during the session before closing up **2.7pc at 49,823.94**, fuelled by strong gains in technology stocks.

South Korea’s **Kospi** climbed **3pc to 4,047.57**, buoyed by Nvidia’s blockbuster performance, which showed quarterly revenues of **$57bn (£43.6bn)** — well above Wall Street forecasts.**Samsung** jumped **6.1pc**, while memory chip giant **SK Hynix** rose **3.5pc**.

Gains were more subdued in China. **Hong Kong’s Hang Seng** edged **0.1pc higher to 25,867.87**, and the **Shanghai Composite** added **0.4pc to 3,961.71**. Taiwan still joined the rally, with the **Taiex up 3.2pc**.

Australia’s **S&P/ASX 200** rose **1.2pc to 8,546.10**, also lifted by strength in tech shares.

The rebound follows another volatile session on Wall Street on Wednesday as investors waited nervously for Nvidia’s results. The **S&P 500** snapped a four-day losing streak, rising **0.38pc to 6,642.16**, while the **Nasdaq Composite** gained **0.56pc to 24,640.52**, driven by renewed confidence in tech. The **Dow Jones Industrial Average** nudged **0.1pc higher to 46,138.77**.
