Concerns about Nvidia continue to abound with a very high bar set to avoid a crash through the AI sector. The Dow was hit heaviest, down about 140 points until about 12:30 p.m., then recovering throughout the afternoon to close about even. The S&P and Nasdaq stayed mostly barely above water closing with modest gains. Despite the skepticism over Nvidia, the AI star player regained most of its losses from yesterday with a gain of 1.5% awaiting its report tomorrow, making it the day’s most heavily traded company. Today’s consumer confidence report came in at a 6-month high and the hotly awaited PCE data is coming Friday. Volume was way below the 4-week average of 11.9 billion, coming in at 8.6 billion.
