Markets Update:
U.S. stock futures edged higher Tuesday night following a losing session, as investors assessed hotter-than-expected inflation data and continued weakness in Nvidia shares.
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures gained 88 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures advanced 0.2%, while Nasdaq-100 futures climbed 0.4%.
Asian markets traded mixed Wednesday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 0.85%, South Korea’s Kospi gained 1.22%, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.23%. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell 0.66%, while China’s CSI 300 declined 0.39%.
On Tuesday, the Dow dropped more than 150 points. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite lost 0.4% and 0.7%, respectively. Nvidia led the decline, falling 5.5% for a second consecutive session amid concerns surrounding CEO Jensen Huang’s reported China-related controversy. The sell-off reduced Nvidia’s market capitalisation to approximately $4.07 trillion, its lowest level since late March.
Investor sentiment was further pressured by U.S. inflation data. October’s Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% month over month, exceeding forecasts and strengthening expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate hike. Markets now assign roughly a 90% probability to a quarter-point increase.
Traders will monitor developments in artificial intelligence stocks following CoreWeave’s stronger-than-expected third-quarter revenue. U.S. bond markets will remain closed Wednesday for Veterans Day.
