Wall Street traders gearing up for Nvidia Corp.’s earnings and the jobs report shunned riskier assets as both events will be key in shaping the global financial outlook throughout the rest of 2025.
Just days ahead of tests of the two main pillars of the bull market — prospects for artificial intelligence and Federal Reserve rate cuts — equities fell alongside crypto. The S&P 500 lost over 1% — breaching a technical level seen by many as a gateway to a deeper pullback. The gauge is set to snap 138 sessions during which it held above its 50-day moving average — its second-longest stretch this century.
Nvidia’s report Wednesday will come out amid investor uneasiness about stratospheric AI valuations even though the chipmaker is widely expected to deliver another earnings beat. Options traders are pricing in a 6.5% swing in either direction for the stock, which would be the highest implied move in a year.
Then there’s the September jobs report, which will be released Thursday after a delay due to the US shutdown. Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson said he sees risks to the labor market as skewed to the downside, but warned policymakers need to proceed slowly.
Scrutiny of Walmart Inc. and Target Corp. results will also be heightened as investors seek clues on consumer appetite and the broader economy. More than 400 shares in the S&P 500 fell, with the gauge hovering near 6,650. Nvidia slipped as Peter Thiel’s hedge fund Thiel Macro LLC sold off its entire stake in the chipmaker last quarter. Alphabet Inc. climbed as Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. built a $4.9 billion stake in the third quarter.
