Stock futures rise as Nvidia shares gain over 4% after earnings: Live updates
US markets turned lower on Monday, August 31, as the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq fell. The decline follows US strikes on Iran, which pushed oil prices higher. Simultaneously, traders increased bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike following a speech by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole. Despite the broader market downturn, Nvidia and CrowdStrike shares remained positive. This shift reverses the previous optimism seen after Nvidia's earnings report, as geopolitical tensions and monetary policy concerns now outweigh AI-driven gains.
