Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq slip as Nvidia drops

Published On Dec 9, 2024, 12:31 PM

The U.S. stock market has seen a downturn, particularly as Nvidia's shares fell over 3% due to a Chinese antitrust investigation. As a result, the Dow Jones and S&P 500 dropped by 0.2% and 0.4% respectively, while the Nasdaq Composite experienced a 0.5% decline. Investors are awaiting the upcoming consumer inflation report, which is critical for gauging the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions, particularly a potential quarter-point cut expected on December 18.

Stock Forecasts

Nvidia's stock is likely to continue facing pressure in the short term due to regulatory concerns and competitive risks highlighted by analysts. The broader market may also exhibit weakness as investors react to upcoming economic data, influencing Fed policy.

Given the response of U.S. listed Chinese stocks to China's eased monetary policy, these stocks might see continued upward momentum. This shift could attract investors looking for value in the wake of global economic adjustments.
