3...2...1...NVIDIA!
With little else to obsess over on a lazy, late summer Wednesday, investors opted to shy away from risk ahead of Nvidia's NVDA.O quarterly earnings results, now just minutes away.
It's been a low-volume week - to be expected heading toward the Labor Day weekend - and with fewer participants in the game, markets are already primed for heightened volatility.
And so the nominal losses at the beginning of the session grew into a broad sell-off by closing bell.
All three major U.S. stock indexes closed sharply lower with tech weakness weighing heaviest on the Nasdaq.
Chip stocks .SOX were clear underperformers, losing 1.8% on the day.
The bar is set very high for AI chipmaker Nvidia.
Consensus calls for year-on-year EPS and revenue growth well over 100%.
A handful of the most valuable companies by market cap who have benefited most from AI's promise, are liable to see their stock price move based on the faintest whisper of caution or optimism from NVDA's earnings call.
And it all starts minutes from now.
Further down the field, the Commerce Department is expected to release its second take on second-quarter GDP on Thursday, with analysts expect will hold firm at a healthy 2.8% rate.
Jobless claims, advance readings on goods trade and wholesale inventories, and pending home sales round out Thursday's data offerings.
Friday brings the Personal Consumption Expenditures report, which will shed a light on income growth, consumer spending, and, of course, the Fed's favored inflation gauge, the price index.
That should give the data-dependent Fed something to chew on over the three-day holiday weekend.
