- NASDAQ:NVDA fell by 6.80% during Thursday’s trading session.
- JPMorgan released its Top Picks for 2022, and NVIDIA was snubbed.
- An Apple iPhone shortage is causing some panic among semiconductor investors.
NASDAQ:NVDA quickly erased any gains it had made at the end of Wednesday’s session, as growth stocks went right back to tanking on Thursday. Shares of NVDA plummeted by 6.80% and closed the trading day at $283.87. NVIDIA has been one tech stock that has been beaten down over the past few weeks, as the stock valuations get trimmed after a substantial gain in 2021. The NASDAQ index itself dropped by a further 2.47% as the tech weakness continued following the speech from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. Mega-cap tech stocks lost big on Thursday as Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fell by 3.93%, Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) dropped by 2.56%, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) lost a further 2.91%, and EV maker Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) tumbled by 5.03%.
Stay up to speed with hot stocks' news!
Just a day after Keybanc had a glowing report about the demand for cloud computing services, JPMorgan came out with its list of Hot Stocks Heading into 2022. The list notably included several semiconductor stocks like Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) and Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:MRVL), two stocks that are trading at much lower multiples than NVIDIA. This has been the theme amongst Wall Street analysts as of late. NVIDIA has reached a price to earnings of over 90, which has turned many investors to stocks with cheaper valuations.
Nvidia stock forecast
Speaking of Apple, its recent iPhone 13 release is one of the hottest commodities this holiday season. There has already been a shortage of phones announced, especially due to the fact that the ongoing global chip shortage is affecting supply chains. Some industry analysts are wondering whether Apple will be frustrated by the lack of chips and bring all of its manufacturing in-house, like it did with the M1 chips for its Macbook Pro laptops. This would be a bearish sign for the chip sector, particularly for companies like Broadcom which supply the wireless network chips to the phone maker.

EUR/USD extends recovery beyond 1.0400 amid Wall Street's turnaround
EUR/USD extends its recovery beyond 1.0400, helped by the better performance of Wall Street and softer-than-anticipated United States PCE inflation. Profit-taking ahead of the winter holidays also takes its toll.
GBP/USD nears 1.2600 on renewed USD weakness
GBP/USD extends its rebound from multi-month lows and approaches 1.2600. The US Dollar stays on the back foot after softer-than-expected PCE inflation data, helping the pair edge higher. Nevertheless, GBP/USD remains on track to end the week in negative territory.
Gold rises above $2,620 as US yields edge lower
Gold extends its daily rebound and trades above $2,620 on Friday. The benchmark 10-year US Treasury bond yield declines toward 4.5% following the PCE inflation data for November, helping XAU/USD stretch higher in the American session.
Bitcoin crashes to $96,000, altcoins bleed: Top trades for sidelined buyers
Bitcoin (BTC) slipped under the $100,000 milestone and touched the $96,000 level briefly on Friday, a sharp decline that has also hit hard prices of other altcoins and particularly meme coins.
Bank of England stays on hold, but a dovish front is building
Bank of England rates were maintained at 4.75% today, in line with expectations. However, the 6-3 vote split sent a moderately dovish signal to markets, prompting some dovish repricing and a weaker pound. We remain more dovish than market pricing for 2025.
