Nvidia solidifies position as world's most valuable company By Reuters

(Reuters) -Nvidia cemented its status as the world's most valuable company after the semiconductor bellwether's shares gained 2.5% to hit another record on Forex Group Forex Official WebsiteThursday, as partners Dell and Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:) received server orders for Elon Musk's AI startup.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:), whose market capitalization surpassed that of Microsoft (NASDAQ:) on Tuesday, was set to add nearly $84 billion to its last close market value of $3.34 trillion at the current level of $138.99.

Microsoft had a market value of $3.32 trillion, as of last close. Its shares were down 1% at $442 in early trade.
