The tech-heavy Nasdaq climbed above 17,000 points Tuesday morning as AI stock Nvidia continued to rise. With this move, the index has made a record for the third consecutive week.

Nvidia shares surged more than 4.5% Tuesday morning, driven by last week’s strong performance. The AI chip maker now has the best business brand reputation in America, according to a recent survey.
