Morning Watchlist: NVDA Earnings on Deck
It’s a quiet morning so far on Wall Street, but one that feels like the calm before a potential storm. Equity indices are little changed with S&P 500 futures up about 0.08% and Nasdaq 100 futures up 0.19% as traders look toward Nvidia’s (NVDA) earnings report after the closing bell as well as FOMC minutes at 2pm ET.
One primary focus for today’s earnings is the tech sector with CRM, HPQ, and AI joining NVDA in the postmarket session. However, it’s also a big week for retail earnings, which could provide important insight into the impact of potential tariffs and the ultimate affect to U.S. consumers with ANF up almost +25% in early trading and many other names reporting this week (DKS, M, CPRI, BBY, BURL, COST).
Today’s economic data includes MBA Mortgage Applications and the Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index.
