Stock Futures Hold Steady as Nvidia Earnings Loom
US stock futures remained subdued on Monday following last week's robust rally, with market participants fixated on Nvidia's impending earnings report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all notched significant gains on Friday, buoyed by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's暗示 of potential September rate cuts.
Nvidia's Wednesday earnings release serves as a critical market catalyst, with analysts projecting $1.01 per share earnings on $46.13 billion revenue. The chipmaker's stock has surged 32% year-to-date, nearly doubling since April's market trough, reflecting insatiable demand for AI hardware. This report will test both Nvidia's valuation and the broader market's appetite for tech stocks.
