Inflation Shock Sends Dow Down 780 Points; NVIDIA Shares Fall Further Amid Tech Rout
NVDA has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $86.62.
Summary
The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged over 780 points, or 1.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 1.2% following hotter-than-expected US producer price index (PPI) data, which intensified inflation concerns. NVIDIA's stock dropped another 2%, extending its decline from the previous session. This macroeconomic surprise, with core PPI jumping 0.8% against a 0.3% forecast, provides a new catalyst for the ongoing tech sector sell-off. The market reaction reflects concerns that persistent inflation could lead to continued hawkish monetary policy, negatively impacting growth stocks. Traders will closely monitor future inflation reports and Federal Reserve statements for further market direction.
At the time of this announcement, NVDA was trading at $181.15 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $4.4T. The 52-week trading range was $86.62 to $212.19.
