Nvidia earnings spark AI optimism as futures slip; Intuit sinks, global markets buoyed by peace hopes

U.S. stock futures edged lower after Nvidia beat earnings and raised its dividend to 25 cents, while investors weighed AI momentum and other results; Intuit fell about 13% on weak revenue and ~3,000 job cuts, and E.l.f. Beauty rose ~4% after beating forecasts. Asia-Pacific markets rallied on Middle East peace hopes and Nvidia-driven AI optimism, with SoftBank and Samsung among notable movers. SpaceX IPO buzz continues as ETFs maintain large weights to SpaceX; Nvidia’s after-hours moves remained a focus as Walmart and Workday loom on the earnings calendar, along with jobless claims, housing, and manufacturing data.
