The S&P 500 (^GSPC) closed above 5,300 for the first time ever following the release of April's Consumer Price Index inflation print.

Yahoo Finance Reporter Josh Schafer joins Market Domination Overtime to analyze whether the market can continue its momentum. CEO of Brazil-based Nubank (NU) David Vélez joins the show to break down the company's earnings which topped the Street's expectations. Nu Holdings is looking to expand its business beyond Brazil, seeing Mexico as a "phenomenal opportunity" due to its large market size. Cisco (CSCO) posted its third quarter earnings after the market close. The company reported adjusted earnings of $0.88 per share, which beat the estimated $0.82, and revenue of $12.70 billion, which was slightly better than estimates. The tech giant also raised its full-year guidance. Morningstar Equity Analyst William Kerwin says the demand slumps for Cisco up until now were a symptom of the "COVID hangover," and it may take another quarter for demand to stabilize fully.
