Disclaimer:
For short-term traders, the focus will largely revolve around the Nvidia earnings report. A strong report could trigger a rally in tech stocks, particularly those involved in AI and semiconductors. However, any signs of weakness in Nvidia’s earnings or guidance could lead to a sell-off, not just in tech but across broader markets. As the market navigates these earnings, volatility is expected, providing potential opportunities for those looking to capitalise on short-term price movements. Risk management is advised.
