Nasdaq Bounces Back Amid Earnings Optimism and Falling Oil Prices
On Tuesday, U.S. tech stocks regained momentum despite a sell-off in chip sector due to concerns over AI circular financing deals involving companies like Nvidia (NVDA) and OpenAI (OPAI.PVT). The Nasdaq Composite hovered near the flat line after earlier losses while both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average rose, with the latter climbing nearly 1.3%. Earnings reports from major firms including Boeing (BA), Ford (F), PayPal (PYPL), and Coca-Cola (KO) contributed to a positive market mood. Investors are closely watching SK Hynix's upcoming results for insights into memory trade dynamics amid AI concerns, while oil prices continued their decline following reduced tensions between the U.S. and Iran. The Federal Reserve is set to begin its two-day policy meeting with traders leaning toward expecting no rate change but uncertainty remains high. Consumer confidence dipped in July according to the Conference Board as labor market perceptions softened.
