Shares finish down with investors focused on Nvidia results, oil prices gain

Shares finish down with investors focused on Nvidia results, oil prices gain

Global shares experienced a slight dip on Wednesday, breaking a two-day winning streak as investors assessed Nvidia’s latest results. Meanwhile, oil prices climbed higher due to supply concerns following OPEC+’s decision to maintain production levels and the U.S. government’s restriction on Chevron from exporting Venezuelan crude.

The positive market sentiment that had been buoyed by the easing of trade tensions between the U.S. and Europe, following President Donald Trump’s decision to delay imposing tariffs on European goods, seemed to wane slightly. Trump’s announcement of upcoming trade meetings with the European Union was viewed as a positive development.

Nvidia, a prominent semiconductor maker, reported sales that exceeded analyst expectations. However, its second-quarter revenue forecasts fell slightly below Wall Street projections, attributed to tighter U.S. restrictions on exports of its AI chips to China. Despite this, Nvidia’s shares saw a modest decline during regular trading hours but rose by 3% in extended trading.

On Wall Street, all three major indexes closed lower, with utilities, energy, and materials stocks leading the decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 0.58% to 42,098.70, the S&P 500 fell by 0.56% to 5,888.55, and the Nasdaq Composite declined by 0.51% to 19,100.94.

In Europe, the STOXX 600 index finished 0.61% lower after rising for the past two days due to the tariff pause between Trump and the EU. The FTSE in Britain also fell by 0.59%. The global stocks gauge, MSCI, fell by 0.54% to 876.37.

Bill Strazzullo, chief markets strategist at Bell Curve Trading in Boston, noted that the current market movement is part of the price discovery process. He anticipates a period of uncertainty in the coming months due to unresolved tariff issues and their potential impact on inflation, the economy, and the Federal Reserve’s response.

OPEC+ maintained its output policy and agreed to establish baselines for 2027 oil production. Additionally, the Trump administration granted Chevron authorization to retain assets in Venezuela but prohibited oil exports or expansion activities. As a result, Brent crude futures rose by 1.26% to $64.90 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude increased by 1.56% to $61.84 a barrel.

The Federal Reserve’s latest meeting minutes revealed concerns about potential trade-offs between rising inflation and unemployment in the upcoming months. Treasury yields in the U.S. rose, with the 10-year note yield increasing by 3.9 basis points to 4.473% and the 30-year bond yield gaining 2.8 basis points to 4.9676%.

The U.S. dollar strengthened against various currencies, including the euro and yen, driven by optimism surrounding trade deals and weak demand for Japanese 40-year bonds. Gold prices, however, experienced a decline, with spot gold falling by 0.18% to $3,293.66 an ounce, and U.S. gold futures settling 0.2% lower at $3,294.90.

In conclusion, the financial markets continue to navigate through a mix of positive and negative factors, with trade tensions, geopolitical developments, and economic data influencing investor sentiment and market movements. As uncertainties persist, investors remain vigilant and adaptive to potential shifts in the global economic landscape.
