Aug 26 (Reuters) -The S&P 500 finished lower onMonday, with AI heavyweight Nvidia dipping ahead of its quarterly report this week, while investors awaited inflation data for clues about the path of interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq also declined, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average was supported by gains in Caterpillar CAT.N and American Express AXP.N and finished just slightly up.
Nvidia NVDA.O droppedahead of its report on Wednesday in what is set to be the U.S. stock market's most closely watched event of the week.
Some investors worried that anything short of a stellar forecast from Nvidia could shatter Wall Street's rally in AI-related companies, including Microsoft MSFT.O, Alphabet GOOGL.O and Meta Platforms META.O.
"Nvidia could disappoint. I think when you get to the point where the majority doesn't even suspect that there could be a piece of bad news, that's typically where you get it," warned Jake Dollarhide, chief executive of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
U.S.-listed shares of PDD Holdings PDD.O tumbledafter the Temu-owner missed market expectations for second-quarter revenue.
Tesla TSLA.O lost ground after Canada, following the lead of the U.S. and European Union, said it would impose a 100% tariff on imports of Chinese electric vehicles.
