One question that everyone asks is, whether last week’s good news marked the finale of the Nvidia’s surge to the top, and if the past three-day selloff is the beginning of a sharper downside correction. The other question in minds is if the price pullback a good opportunity to strengthen long position at a better price before Nvidia announces its Q2 earnings, where it’s expected to reveal a monstruous $28bn sales, which is more than the double of money is made the same time last year.
Yesterday’s 6.68% plunge in Nvidia shares didn’t do good to mood in Nasdaq 100. The index dropped more than 1% whereas losses in the S&P500 remained limited to 0.31%, as the financials gained 0.63% while energy sector rallied 1.70% on the back of a rebound in crude oil to retest the $82pb level resistance, the major 61.8% level on the latest selloff.
Elsewhere, the US dollar index eased yesterday, as the weekend euro bears scaled back their positions after the weekend, the USDJPY trades a touch below the critical 160 level as the yen bears are testing the nerves of the Japanese officials to see what level will trigger an FX intervention and the Loonie benefits from a rise in oil prices ahead of CPI update.
