Nvidia’s Q2 results are expected to show a sharp topline gain (over 100% revenue growth to about $92 billion), while Fed Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech could steer market expectations—creating a two‑part test for stocks as August trading picks up.
Stock futures hover near flat ahead of the July PCE inflation print and Nvidia's Q2 results, after a session where the S&P 500 rose about 0.3%, the Nasdaq climbed 0.7%, and the Dow gained 0.3% on softer yields and lower oil. The inflation report is expected to show a 0.1% monthly rise and a 3.6% yearly increase, keeping Fed policy in focus ahead of Fed Chair Powell’s or Warsh’s remarks at Jackson Hole later in the week. Nvidia’s earnings after the bell are closely watched given its weight in the S&P 500, and broader markets remain affected by movements in oil and Treasuries.
U.S. equities advanced modestly after a day of tariff-driven headlines, with the Dow up about 0.3%, the S&P 500 around 0.2%, and the Nasdaq roughly 0.6%, as Canada retaliated with duties in response to U.S. tariffs. Nvidia earnings and Fed Chair Jerome Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech loom large for market sentiment, while Bitcoin briefly topped $80,000 and oil slipped on tariff headlines. Economic data showed softer new-home sales and consumer confidence, setting a cautious tone ahead of the Fed symposium.

Gold sits near a three-month high as a softer dollar and U.S. Treasury bond buybacks support prices; spot gold is about $4,643/oz with futures near $4,700, and the metal has surged more than 15% this month.

US stock futures rose ahead of Nvidia's earnings and the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole summit, with Dow futures up about 0.4%, S&P 500 futures up 0.5%, and Nasdaq-100 futures up around 1%, as traders await key data (ADP payrolls, new home sales, PMIs) and earnings from INTU, ZM, and DKS. Bitcoin topped $80,000 amid dollar‑driven anxieties from Iran sanctions, while oil crept higher and gold paused after recent rallies as markets prep for the Jackson Hole speech.
New Fed chair Kevin Warsh faces early pressure as bond-market jitters about inflation rise ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting, with his remarks signaling a focus on bigger questions rather than clear rate hints; the briefing also touches on immigration detention, Trump-era election-integrity rhetoric, ICE glove plans, a Reno wildfire, and other brief U.S. news items.
Treasury officials have rolled out buybacks and other tools to calm a selloff in long-dated Treasurys, but long-term yields remain elevated and market skeptics say liquidity moves don’t tackle the underlying rise in the national debt. With deficits ballooning and the government needing to finance growing borrowing, more measures are likely, even as tensions between the Treasury and the Fed – including expectations set for Jackson Hole – shape how policy is priced into markets and influence borrowing costs across mortgages, cars, and other loans.
At Jackson Hole, new Fed chair Kevin Warsh faces inflation concerns and volatile bond markets as Trump’s tax-and-spending plans loom; with a cautious stance on signaling rate paths, markets fear volatility ahead of possible September actions and gradual hikes next year amid debt and Iran-related inflation pressures.
US Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh aims to reassure markets amid signs of economic strain—record debt, higher long-dated yields, and tariff tensions—while preparing for a Jackson Hole speech that will outline his pared-back, less-guidance approach; economists warn this could erode Fed credibility and delay the inflation fight, especially as polls show many believe the Fed will take longer to reach its 2% target.
Markets brace for Nvidia’s earnings on Wednesday as the AI rally faces a key test, while the Jackson Hole symposium and the latest PCE inflation data will shape the Fed’s next move.

Crypto markets have shown resilience on liquidity cues, but the overarching theme is whether AI-driven gains can sustain amid earnings expectations and shifting policy signals.
A busy week looms for markets with the release of PCE inflation data, Nvidia earnings, and the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium, as investors parse inflation signals, tech results, and policy guidance.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s hawkish insistence that inflation can be tamed without signaling rate hikes spooked the bond market, pushing long-term yields higher and forcing a choice between bowing to Trump’s desire for easier policy or backing a tightening bloc; he also signaled a potential rethink of the Fed’s 2% inflation target as he seeks outside expert input ahead of Jackson Hole, even as June PCE shows inflation cooling to 3.7% with core at 3.3%, keeping the policy path unsettled amid geopolitical risks and AI investment.
The U.S. stock market is cautious ahead of Nvidia's earnings report, which could significantly influence the market due to Nvidia's large weight in the S&P 500 and the importance of AI stocks. The market's recent rally was partly driven by expectations of a Fed rate cut, following Jackson Hole speeches, but overall market performance remains sensitive to Big Tech's influence and upcoming earnings reports, especially Nvidia's.
