Nvidia's $33.96B Surge Propels It to No.2 on U.S. Volume Charts as AI Demand Bolsters Momentum

Nvidia closed on Sept. 25 with a 0.41% gain, marking its second consecutive day of positive momentum amid heightened institutional interest. The chipmaker’s daily trading volume surged to $33.96 billion, a 33.31% increase from the prior session, placing it second in total dollar volume among U.S. equities. This elevated liquidity reflects a broader trend of increased market participation in AI infrastructure plays as third-quarter earnings season approaches.

Analysts noted the stock’s performance aligns with renewed confidence in enterprise adoption of its data center solutions. Recent client deployments in cloud computing and generative AI platforms have reinforced expectations for sustained revenue growth. However, observers caution that valuation metrics remain stretched relative to historical averages, with the stock trading at 45x forward earnings despite slowing global semiconductor demand trends.

The back-test parameters require clarification on several key implementation details to ensure accurate results: market universe scope, volume calculation methodology, trade execution timing, position sizing rules, and cost assumptions. Confirmation of the proposed defaults—NYSE/NASDAQ common stocks, shares traded metric, close-to-close timing, equal-weight allocation, and zero costs—is necessary before proceeding with data analysis. These parameters will directly influence the strategy’s performance evaluation over the specified period.
