NVIDIA Surges 2.20% as Top 3 Most Actively Traded Stock in U.S. Markets with $24.36 Billion Volume

On October 8, 2025, NVIDIA (NVDA) closed with a 2.20% gain, marking one of the top three most actively traded stocks in U.S. markets with a $24.36 billion volume. The stock's performance reflected renewed investor confidence in its AI-driven infrastructure solutions, particularly as demand for data center semiconductors remains robust amid sustained enterprise adoption of generative AI technologies.

Recent developments highlighted NVIDIA's strategic expansion in the AI ecosystem, including new partnerships with cloud providers to enhance GPU accessibility for developers. These moves align with the company's long-term roadmap to solidify its leadership in AI computing hardware, despite macroeconomic uncertainties affecting broader tech sector valuations.

To run this back-test rigorously I need to pin down a few implementation details that are not yet specified: 1. Market universe • Should the “top 500 stocks by daily trading volume” be selected from all listed U.S. common stocks (≈ 3 500 names), only S&P 500 constituents, or another universe (e.g., NASDAQ, your local market)? 2. Selection & execution convention • Ranking price/volume bar: today’s official daily data (close, volume) • Trade entry: buy at today’s close (T) or tomorrow’s open (T+1)? • Trade exit: sell at the next close (T+1) or at the next open (T+1)? • Are transaction costs or slippage to be included? If yes, please specify. 3. Benchmark (optional) • Would you like the strategy results compared to a benchmark index (e.g., SPY) for the same period? Once I have these details I can retrieve the data, build the daily portfolio, and run the one-day-holding back-test from 2022-01-03 to the present.
