US stock futures paused on Friday, catching their breath after the record-breaking rally fueled by AI chipmaker Nvidia’s blowout earnings. Investors are now contemplating what lies ahead.

Market Overview

  • S&P 500 ( ^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average ( ^DJI) futures hovered around the flatline, having closed at all-time highs on Thursday.
  • Nasdaq 100 ( ^NDX) futures remained subdued after the tech-heavy index surged 3% to achieve its own record.
  • The global breakout frenzy added a staggering $277 billion to Nvidia’s market value, marking the largest single-day gain in Wall Street history.

Nvidia’s Meteoric Rise

  • Nvidia’s shares continued their meteoric ascent in Friday’s premarket, rising approximately 2% and on track to surpass a $2 trillion valuation.
  • As the AI euphoria begins to wane, market attention is shifting back to the possibility of a US interest-rate cut.
  • Federal Reserve officials have hinted at rate cuts, although opinions differ on the timing of this shift.

Earnings Season Highlights

  • A robust fourth-quarter earnings season is winding down, with over one-third of reports surpassing estimates.
  • Fintech company Square (SQ) provided an upbeat earnings forecast, propelling its shares higher.
  • Used-car seller Carvana (CVNA) reported its first annual profit, boosting its stock price.

In summary, while the stock market takes a pause, investors remain vigilant for further developments. The AI-driven rally has left its mark, but uncertainties persist. As we navigate these dynamics, keep an eye on the Fed’s next moves and corporate earnings surprises.
