US stocks drift lower following economic updates and data center selloff
US stocks declined as updated inflation and economic growth data pressured markets, leading to mixed results for Asian stocks. While Nvidia saw its value rise above 5.5 trillion dollars after a nearly 10% surge, other technology sectors struggled. A nine-figure writedown by one AI data center operator triggered a broader sector selloff, causing IREN to drop 13% and Applied Digital to sink 7%. Meanwhile, treasury yields jumped following an inflation pledge from Warsh. Corporate shifts include a GE Vernova joint venture with LS Electric and EHang withdrawing its 2026 revenue guidance.
Why it matters
The market is currently navigating a rotation amid persistent inflation and anticipation of Federal Reserve policy shifts. Recent volatility in AI-related infrastructure stocks suggests a growing sensitivity to operational losses within the data center sector. These movements occur as investors weigh high-growth tech valuations against macroeconomic headwinds.
What is confirmed
- Nvidia's value rose above 5.5 trillion dollars after the stock soared almost 10%.
- EHang withdrew its RMB600 million full-year revenue guidance on August 25.
- GE Vernova established a joint venture with LS Electric on August 26 to target the high-voltage direct current sector.
- IREN shares fell 13% and Applied Digital shares fell 7% during a data center selloff.
Still unconfirmed
- Enphase is expanding outreach in the Netherlands before net metering ends on January 1, 2027.
What to watch next
- Federal Reserve Jackson Hole summit outcomes
- Nvidia official financial results
- Further regulatory updates affecting EHang's overseas growth

Wall Street closes higher as tech stocks rebound before Nvidia earnings
Major US indices ended higher on August 25, 2026, driven by a recovery in technology and chip stocks. Investors found relief as Treasury yields and oil prices declined, offsetting previous pressure from persistent inflation. While the market rebounded from a recent selloff, traders remain cautious. Current sentiment is focused on upcoming catalysts, specifically Nvidia's financial results and the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole summit, which are expected to test a market currently undergoing a rotation.
Why it matters
The rebound follows a period where elevated yields and inflation weighed on risk appetite. Investors are closely monitoring the AI sector's valuation through Nvidia's performance. The Federal Reserve's upcoming communications will likely signal future interest rate directions.
What is confirmed
- All three major US indices rose for the day on August 25, 2026.
