GLOBAL MARKETS - Stocks Bask in Nvidia Glow, Dollar Steady

GLOBAL MARKET - LONDON. Global stocks hit record highs on Wednesday, driven by a rally in tech shares that has made AI chipmaker Nvidia the world's most valuable company, while the dollar stalled as soft U.S. retail sales data suggested rates could fall this year.

MSCI's All-World index was up 0.2% at 805.13, having traded at an all-time high of 805.43.
