Nvidia's financial report exceeds expectations, BTC lowest at 82K, MSTR rises over 5%

Yesterday, the three major stock indexes of the US saw fluctuations, with Nvidia, which exceeded Wall Street's expectations for fourth-quarter earnings announced after hours, leading to a rebound in the technology stock Nasdaq. However, the encryption market continues to decline, with BTC dropping to a low of $82,256. Even Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy), joked about considering a second job to acquire more BTC. Nevertheless, Strategy's stock price detached from the BTC trend and rose yesterday, with MSTR rising over 5% and closing at $263.27.

Tariff concerns and an economic slowdown continue to dominate sentiment

President Trump (Donald Trump)'s comments on US trade policy have sparked market concerns about economic growth. Trump promised at his first cabinet meeting on Wednesday that tariffs on Canada and Mexico, two of the US's three major trading partners, would take effect after a one-month suspension. He also pledged to expand the scope of tariffs soon, imposing a 25% tariff on goods from the European Union.

The housing data released on Wednesday showed that new home sales in January fell 10.5% to 657,000, well below economists' forecast of 671,000 and also below the upwardly revised 734,000 in December.

The focus of this week is on the PCE index, which the Fed will release on Friday. This is the Fed's preferred inflation indicator. PCE will provide clues for the central bank's future monetary policy decisions and rate-cutting paths.

NVIDIA's financial report exceeds expectations

AI leader Nvidia, (Nvidia), announced better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings after Wednesday's market close. The company also provided strong guidance for the quarter, indicating confidence in sustained historic growth driven by artificial intelligence until 2025.

Investors bet ahead of the financial report, and Nvidia led the way with a rise of more than 3% yesterday. The chip manufacturer giant, seen as the barometer of artificial intelligence, is optimistic about its highly anticipated Blackwell product line, generating $11 billion in revenue from Blackwell. Nvidia calls this its "fastest product growth" in history. This outlook comes at a turbulent time for the AI industry, with investors concerned about whether data center operators will slow down spending.

However, it can be seen that after the financial report was released, the stock price fluctuated up and down, and investors seem to still be digesting the future direction of NVIDIA and AI.
