Wall Street ends mixed, Nvidia shares slip after the bell

Tech took a big hit all day with the Nasdaq down nearly 300 points in the morning and the S&P not too far behind with a 60 point loss at 10:30, but both choppily recovering to near break-even at close. The Dow was on a rocky course bouncing back and forth several times between 200 point losses and break-even before finally breaking through in the 11th hour and gaining 139 at close.  

The explanation for all this volatility remains the same – rising Russian/Ukraine tensions tugging against anticipation of Thursday’s Nvidia report and concerns that the AI craze can be sustained.  The post-election euphoria continues to abate with the VIX rising to 17.24, its highest since the election and volume continuing to fall below the 4-week average, today coming in at 13.2 vs an average of 14.3 billion.  Tomorrow, Nvidia will tell the story.
