S&P500 Forecast: SPX falls as rate jitters remain

US stocks point to a weaker open after US Q1 GDP was downwardly revised but rate jitters remain. Q1 GDP was lowered to 1.3%. However, this still represents solid growth, giving the Fed few reasons to start cutting rates anytime soon. Attention will be on Fed speakers later ahead of US core PCE tomorrow, which could provide more clues over the timing of the first Fed rate cut.

S&P500 Forecast: SPX hits a record high, boosted by Nvidia earnings

US stocks point to a stronger open, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq100 set to reach record highs after Nvidia earnings smash forecasts, fueling an AI chip stock rally. The impressive earnings have overshadowed hawkish FOMC minutes, which showed policymakers were concerned about sticky inflation, and some even supported raising rates. Jobless claims were stronger than expected, consistent with a solid labour market. PMI data is up next.

S&P500 Forecast: SPX slips ahead of FOMC minutes, Nvidia earnings

US stocks are pointing to a weaker open as concerns over high interest rates for longer offset optimism surrounding Nvidia ahead of its Q1 earnings after the closing bell. Nvidia is expected to post a 242% rise in revenue and EPS of $5.17 vs $0.82 in the same period last year. The stock trades up 200% over 12 months, and strong earnings could power the next leg higher for the S&P 500. The minutes of the latest Fed meeting will also be in focus and could support the view rates must stay high for longer.
