Highlights
Equities more stable today after selling off this week amid nerves ahead of the Nvidia results and rising skepticism over the scale of the rally in AI shares relative to the underlying business reality. Big sales of Nvidia shares by Peter Thiel's hedge fund and SoftBank have contributed to selling that trimmed a tiny bit of Nvidia's massive gain lately.
Markets expect Nvidia's results to show top line and bottom line growth of more than 50 percent in the latest quarter. That sounds amazing but the growth rate is down a lot from past quarters; comparisons to prior quarters have gotten tougher given the size of Nvidia's revenues and order book.
