U.S. STOCKS CHURN, AWAIT NVIDIA, RETAIL EARNINGS
The main U.S. stock indexes are mixed with just modest changes early on Monday as investors look ahead to crucial corporate results, especially from AI-chip leader Nvidia, following Wall Street's slump the previous week.
Results from Nvidia NVDA.O, which reports third-quarter earnings on Wednesday, will be crucial as investors assess if the optimism around AI, responsible for much of markets' tech-driven rally this year, can be sustained.
And with the key holiday shopping season set to kick off, results from major retailers including Walmart WMT.N, Lowe's Companies LOW.N and Target TGT.N this week will be closely watched to gauge the strength of the U.S. consumer.
A majority of S&P 500 .SPX sectors are higher early on Monday with consumer discretionary .SPLRCD, up more than 1.5%, the leading gainer. Tech .SPLRCT, only off around 0.25%, is the weakest group.
Under the surface, the S&P 500 banks index .SPXBK did make a fresh record intraday high, before slipping back.
Gold stocks .HUI, up more than 4%, are strongly outperforming.
Here is a snapshot of where markets stood just after 1000 EST:
