Published On Sep 3, 2024, 7:02 AM
Investors kicked off September on a negative note as major U.S. stock indices suffered significant declines, particularly affecting technology and AI-related stocks like Nvidia. The Dow Jones fell over 600 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also faced steep drops amid concerns over upcoming economic data, including an influential jobs report. Nvidia's stock tumbled nearly 10% due to disappointing earnings and questions about the future of AI investments. Broader chip stocks, including Broadcom, Qualcomm, and Taiwan Semiconductor, also saw declines. Overall market sentiment indicates a cautious approach, with uncertainty over economic signals and potential rate cuts from the Federal Reserve looming in the background.
