WALL STREET'S CASE OF PRE-NVIDIA JITTERS
U.S. stocks edged higher in a light volume, late summer session on Tuesday, with a scarcity of catalysts leaving investors in the doldrums.
The S&P 500 closed within one percent of its record closing high reached on July 16, and in doing so joined the Nasdaq in posting modest gains at the conclusion of the range-bound session.
The blue-chip Dow crossed the finish line barely green, but that was enough to nab a second consecutive all-time closing high.
Market participants appeared reticent to take much of a stand ahead of Nvidia NVDA.O earnings.
The artificial intelligence chipmaker is widely considered the de facto mascot of a technology still in its infancy, so disappointing quarterly results or a cautious outlook from the company could reverberate across a range of megacap growth stocks that have benefited most from the AI frenzy.
Among those stocks, the so-called "Magnificent 7," Nvidia logged the biggest percentage gain of the day, advancing 1.5%. Amazon.com AMZN.O and Tesla TSLA.O, on the other hand, have had better days. They both slid more than 1%.
A larger-than-expected uptick in August consumer confidence helped the major indexes overcome their initial funk. The report from the Conference Board showed near-term expectations brightening even as its survey respondents' view of the employment picture dimmed a bit.
The day's outperformers included chips .SOX and commercial airlines .SPCOMAIR, while housing .HGX and energy stocks .SPNY fared relatively poorly.
