Nvidia’s shares slide for 3 days

Tuesday, June 25, 2024

Today’s headlines

What’s happening: Shares of Nvidia edged lower on Monday, extending its decline for the third consecutive day.

What happened: Last week Nvidia had surpassed Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable company.

The selloff in Nvidia’s stock has shaved $430 billion off the market cap in three days.

Why it matters: Nvidia’s shares have been on a strong uptrend for more than a year and have rallied so far in 2024. The stock has gained 190% in the past one year and is up 145% year to date.

The runup took Nvidia’s market cap past the $3 trillion mark earlier this month, overtaking Apple. Last week, the chipmaker surpassed Microsoft to become the world’s most valuable company.

Till a couple of years ago, the company’s chips were known mostly to gamers, who bought its hardware to play multiplayer games online. Nvidia’s GPUs (graphic processor units) grabbed the spotlight when markets saw the massive backlogs in the chipmaker’s order-books from companies investing in AI.

Although Nvidia has launched GPUs with more than ten thousand cores to make machine learning faster, it is no longer just a hardware company. Nvidia has launched a complete ecosystem of software and services that are being used for creating AI applications.

The latest fillip had come after the company reported strong first-quarter results and announced a 10:1 stock split.

After months of rallying, Nvidia’s stock shed 13% over the last three trading days, mainly on profit taking. The shares declined by 6.68% to close at $118.11 and extended its losses in after-hours trading by 1.32%.

What to watch: Investors will monitor investments by companies in AI, which will impact Nvidia’s profits ahead. Markets will also watch the company’s order backlogs and consensus estimates for the current quarter and year.

The markets today

The Canadian dollar will be in focus today ahead of the release of important economic data

Context: The CAD/USD forex pair climbed on Monday, supported by higher gold and crude prices.

Details: The Canadian dollar has been on a broader uptrend since the first week of this month, after falling to a five-week low of 1.376 on June 7.

A rise in the price of crude oil, one of Canada’s major exports, lent support to the loonie. WTI for August delivery rose 90 cents, or 1.1%, to settle at $81.63 a barrel on Monday.

Weakness in the US dollar also drive the CAD/USD forex pair higher. The US dollar index, which measures the greenback’s performance versus a basket of major peers, edged lower to 105.43 on Monday.

Bank of Canada’s Governor Tiff Macklem said during a speech on Monday that interest rate cuts were “reasonable” to expect in case inflation fell back to the central bank’s target.

The CAD/USD forex pair rose around 0.12% to 0.7330 on Monday. The S&P/TSX Composite Index gained 1.36% to close at 21,848.59.

What to watch: Investors await the release of economic data on inflation and manufacturing sales from Canada today. Analysts expect Canada’s annual core inflation to remain constant at 1.6% in May, after declining to this figure in April from March’s 2%. The country’s manufacturing sales, which grew by 1.1% in April, is expected to decelerate to 0.7% in May.

Other Markets: European indices closed higher on Monday, with the STOXX Europe 600, DAX 40, CAC 40 and FTSE 100 up by 0.73%, 1.73%, 0.89% and 0.53%, respectively.
