from The Daily News Now! Business

Stock markets surged on May 8th, driven by robust jobs data and soaring AI demand. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reached new highs, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up slightly. Micron Technology and Intel shares soared due to increased memory chip demand and an early chip production deal with Apple, respectively.
