July 10 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 hit record highs on Wednesday as strength in Nvidia and other mega stocks supported Wall Street's winning streak, which will be tested by key inflation data and second-quarter earnings later this week.
Nvidia NVDA.O jumped 1.3% to hit a nearly three-week high while Micron Technology MU.O, Advanced Micro Devices AMD.O and ON Semiconductor ON.O rose about 1%, propelling the SE Semiconductor index .SOX to a record high.
U.S.-listed shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co TSM.N climbed 2.5% after the world's largest contract chipmaker posted a second-quarter revenue beat.
Of the so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks,Alphabet GOOGL.O and Microsoft MSFT.O rose 1% and 0.5%, respectively. Apple AAPL.O also climbed1%, to touch arecord high, as U.S. Treasury yields slipped.
The S&P 500 Tech Index .SPLRCT topped sectoral gainers, while Energy .SPNY was the worst hit.
With just a handful of large-cap stocks supporting Wall Street's banner rally this year, participants wonder when other sections of the market willcatch up, leading someto call for greaterdiversification.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaqnotched their fifth straight intraday record highs after hopes for an interest-rate cut in September received a boost fromJerome Powell, who said theU.S. was "no longer an overheated economy".
While Powell refrained from committing to a timeline for rate cuts in his testimony to Congress on Tuesday, he is now slated to appear before the House Financial Services Committee for further questioning from lawmakers.
"Powell came in a little bit more dovish than we expected... he's purposely trying to signal to markets that if there is a good inflation print this week, September is back on the table as a possibility for a rate cut," said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance.
Bets on a 25-basis-point rate cut by September ticked up to74%, up from around 70% on Tuesday and 45% a month ago, according to CME's FedWatch. Comments from Fed officials Austan Goolsbee, Michelle Bowman and Lisa Cook are also expected through the day.
The focuswill now shift to inflation data this week, with the ConsumerPrice Index due on Thursday and the Producer Price Index report on Friday.
The second-quarter earnings season, which kicks off this week with major banks reporting onFriday, will be a key test for whether high-flying megacaps can justify expensive valuations and continue their strong runs.
At 9:53 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was up 17.83 points, or 0.05%, at 39,309.80, the S&P 500 .SPX was up 14.12 points, or 0.25%, at 5,591.10, and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was up 87.84 points, or 0.48%, at 18,517.13.
TurboTax parent Intuit INTU.O, whichplans to lay off about 10% of its workforce, lost 2.8%.
Gene-sequencing equipment maker Illumina ILMN.O jumped2.6% on plans to acquire privately held Fluent BioSciences.
Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 2.46-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, andby a 1.67-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
The S&P index recorded 17 new 52-week highs and six new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 25 new highs and 50 new lows.
