On Monday, the stock market showcased a notable split, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising over 200 points, boosted by strong performances in the energy and financial sectors. Conversely, the Nasdaq Composite slumped by more than 1%, primarily due to Nvidia’s shares plummeting over 6% amid concerns over its recent performance and pending earnings reports. The S&P 500 also declined, reflecting broader market uncertainty, especially as investors shifted focus from big tech stocks to smaller companies. Key earnings announcements from Microsoft and AMD, along with the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decisions, are expected to significantly impact market sentiment and direction.
