Nvidia Earnings and Jackson Hole Set to Test AI Rally's Pillars
NVDA sits 32% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
Nvidia reports Q2 results on August 26, with the stock acting as a proxy for the entire AI infrastructure trade. The report lands amid a 5% weekly drop in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index and the highest 30-year Treasury yield since 2007, raising the stakes for guidance on data center demand. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first Jackson Hole appearance follows on August 27-29, with markets pricing a 35% chance of a September rate hike and 66% by December. The combination of Nvidia's numbers and Warsh's policy framework will determine whether the AI-driven rally can withstand rising borrowing costs. Watch for Nvidia's data center revenue growth and any commentary on the $500B+ AI financing platforms it recently launched with six financial institutions.
