Sensex, Nifty, Share Prices LIVE: Japanese stocks and US futures rose Thursday in a sign of fresh momentum in global equities after Nvidia Corp. unveiled a better-than-expected revenue forecast. Japanese shares rallied, supported by a depressed yen, pushing the Nikkei 225 Index to within a whisker of its 1989 record high. South Korean shares also rose, while Australian shares erased early losses. US futures climbed, reversing a small decline for the Nasdaq 100 and bolstering a small gain for the S&P 500. West Texas Intermediate rose to extend a 1.1% Wednesday gain, supported by tightening physical supplies. Gold was steady at around $2,025 per ounce.
