The S&P 500 and the Dow inched below the flatline, while the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.5%. Nvidia shares wavered ahead of their earnings release after the bell, set to signal the level of capital expenditures by AI hyperscalers, which have supported the US stock market in recent years. Microsoft, Tesla, Alphabet, and Amazon traded lower. Meanwhile, Intuit sank 10% as its outlook failed to impress the higher ranges of expectations. In turn, Meta jumped 4% as it agreed to a $16.7 billion settlement against US states regarding social media strategy for teens.
