Wall Street Hints at Gains as Markets Pivot to Fresh Economic Data Following Nvidia’s Earnings
Dow Jones futures rose 0.6% pre-bell, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures each edged up 0.2%. Despite Nvidia showcasing robust profit and revenue growth, its shares dipped 3.2% in early trading but have surged nearly 150% this year.
Nvidia’s stellar performance underscores its pivotal role in the AI sector, boasting a market cap surpassing $3 trillion. The company’s influence on Wall Street is undeniable.
Premarket movers include CrowdStrike and Dollar General.
Looking ahead, investors should watch upcoming U.S. economic data closely as these reports will likely steer equity markets and shape the broader economic outlook heading into next quarter’s earnings season. This season starts on October 3rd with JPMorgan Chase. Tech giants Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet will follow soon after, setting the year’s tone.
Wall Street seems set for moderate gains driven by optimism around new economic indicators, tempered by mixed reactions to individual company performances. Key players like Nvidia significantly influence overall index movements due to their dominance in the tech sector, especially in AI where they continue to make headlines and fuel much of the recent rally seen in 2024 so far.
