Wall Street indexes end rocky session higher ahead of Nvidia earnings
Wed November 19, 2025 4:03 PM
Speak of a rocky day, all the indexes were way up in the morning, the Dow up some 200, the Nasdaq 400, before beginning another drastic plunge around 10:30 a.m., possibly reflecting changing sentiment that maybe enough tech had been sold off enough and that maybe Nvidia’s report won’t be all that bad. The plunge was attributed to the Fed once again making statements that another rate cut would hurt inflation. A further sell off had been expected pending the AI giant’s after-hours report and the report did come in after-hours – just barely! It was actually at 4:15 pm, 15 minutes after close, that Nvidia’s stock began to soar when the report revealed that they handily beat expectations.
This gave the markets much relief over the fears of an AI bubble, showing that AI is alive and well. There could be quite the rally tomorrow except that Thursday’s first government jobs report since the shutdown might dampen sentiment. There is the further disappointing news announced by the BLS today that the report will be for September only and that a combined October/November report will be coming later as they continue to assemble data. The report is expected to show a continuing cooling labor market. Awaiting all these results, volume came in at 17.4 billion, way shy of the 20.2 billion average.
