Stock market today: Nasdaq, S&P 500 chip away at losses after DeepSeek-inspired tech rout
Published On Jan 28, 2025, 9:32 AM
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 saw a rebound after a sharp sell-off caused by concerns over Big Tech's investments in AI and tariff threats from President Trump. Nvidia rebounded sharply by more than 7% after a significant drop the previous day, while other tech giants like Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon also gained. The market is now closely watching the Federal Reserve's upcoming policy decisions, particularly related to interest rates and inflation risks stemming from tariff discussions. JetBlue shares fell significantly due to a weak outlook, and GM reported strong earnings despite concerns surrounding tariffs and the EV market.
Stock Forecasts
NVDA
Positive
Nvidia is showing strong potential for recovery after a massive sell-off triggered by competitive pressures from a new Chinese AI model. The stock has begun to bounce back, indicating resilience and potential for continued upward movement as investor confidence returns and as the AI market retains a positive long-term outlook.
GM
Positive
General Motors reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue, suggesting potential for growth amid its strategic shift to EVs. However, ongoing tariff discussions pose uncertainties for its future performance. Nevertheless, expected stable earnings may provide short-term support for the stock.
JBLU
Negative
JetBlue is facing significant headwinds due to poor earnings outlook that may discourage investors in the near term. As revenue growth projections are below market expectations, this suggests further downside potential for the stock.
