Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures creep higher as investors count down to Nvidia earnings

US stock futures teetered around the flatline as investors counted down to Nvidia’s (NVDA) earnings report.

Now, Wall Street is bracing for Nvidia earnings, which land Wednesday after the bell. Expectations for its results are sky-high, with the company’s stock up almost 34% so far this year, even as restrictions on chip sales to China have possibly cost the company billions. Nvidia’s results will also serve as a litmus test for Big Tech since the industry’s eye-popping investments in AI have started to convince investors to look elsewhere.

In other corporate earnings, Dell (DELL), Dick’s Sporting Goods (DKS), Best Buy (BBY), Dollar General (DG), and Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) will report their results this week.

Finally, the latest release of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, arrives Friday.
