Stocks are bullish after the State of the Union address from President Donald Trump and in anticipation of Wednesday’s Nvidia earnings report.
Nvidia (NVDA) will be releasing their quarterly earnings report on Wednesday, after the bell, and their revenue and growth are expected to be significant factors in shifting the current trend of tech stock movements. Trump’s address to the nation on Tuesday helped shift stocks higher as he gave a positive report on the state of the economy.
Trump said that the economy had managed “a turnaround for the ages” and painted a rosy picture of where the economy is headed. Of course, he gave himself plenty of credit, and he took the opportunity to come down hard on illegal immigration. The market is looking slightly bullish in response, and part of that is anticipation for what Nvidia’s earnings will look like.
Stock Indices Climb on Wednesday
After this week’s decline among the major indices, the stock markets managed to recover somewhat near the end of trading on Tuesday and remained upwardly mobile as premarket trading begins for Wednesday. The Dow added 0.2% while the S&P gained 0.3% and the Nasdaq 0.4%.
It is important to note the Nasdaq’s movement since that index relies heavily on tech stocks, and those stocks are significantly impacted by Nvidia. Because Nvidia is the leader in the AI market and the company with the largest market cap, what happens with its quarterly earnings or even its stock movement affects a significant portion of the stock market.
Wall Street expects Nvidia’s stock to move about 5.6%, but the shift could go either way. The market is so volatile right now for AI-related stocks that it is hard to predict whether investors will be happy with evens strong earnings if they fear that development costs are too high for a given technomancy. Nvidia will also be compared to AMD, which recently announced a multi-year partnership with Meta Platforms to provide processing components.
Stocks were broadly bullish on Wednesday morning and may settle down later in the day. For now, investor sentiment is high, and there is no doubt that the positive State of the Union address is partly responsible. After newly announced tariffs made the news this week, the robust economy report from the President is exactly what the market needed to soar back near record highs.
