US Stock Market Today: Nasdaq Slides as AI Selloff Hits Nvidia, Fed and Oil Risks Loom

Nasdaq Composite slumped Tuesday morning, pulling major U.S. equity benchmarks into the red after renewed worries about artificial intelligence demand rattled chipmakers and names tied to the cloud.

The shift grabbed attention, given how much the latest Wall Street rally has ridden the AI wave. A Wall Street Journal piece said OpenAI fell short of some internal milestones for weekly users and revenue, sparking fresh doubt among investors about whether the billions sunk into high-powered chips and sprawling data centers will deliver profits on schedule.

Best Stocks To Buy Today: 7 Names Wall Street Is Testing As Oil Shock Hits The AI Rally

U.S. stock futures edged lower early Tuesday, with oil prices still running hot amid the U.S.-Iran standoff.

It’s a crucial stretch: stocks are hovering near record highs, and the lineup this week is packed—first-quarter earnings, Fed policy moves, plus the ongoing threat of inflation as energy prices climb. On Monday, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq ended at all-time highs. About 44% of the S&P 500’s total market cap is set to report results over the next few days, per Raymond James. “Whether or not those all-time highs are justified”—that’s the question investors are chewing on right now, said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth.

US Stock Market Week Ahead: Why Wall Street’s Record Rally Faces Its Biggest Test This Week

This week could be a turning point for Wall Street’s record run. Heavyweights Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Apple are all set to release results, just as the Federal Reserve prepares to meet and new data on U.S. growth and inflation lands. In a new wrinkle, Senator Thom Tillis on Sunday said he’s prepared to move ahead with Kevin Warsh’s nomination to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair. The stakes feel sharper now, with so much optimism already baked in. On Friday, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq both notched record closes; weekly gains landed at 0.55% for the S&P 500 and 1.5% for the Nasdaq. The Dow, though, slipped 0.44%. That leaves little margin for error if earnings outlooks or inflation numbers disappoint.

Salesforce and Google Cloud on Wednesday rolled out fresh integrations, deepening their AI tie-up. Now, Salesforce’s Agentforce AI agents—designed for multi-step tasks with little human help—are plugging into Slack, Google Workspace, and Gemini Enterprise. The stock tumbled around 9% Thursday, showing investors remain unconvinced that these AI moves will drive reliable, long-term growth. This is a tough spot for Salesforce. LSEG’s analyst survey points to the company posting its quickest revenue jump in over three years. Still, the software and services index has dropped roughly 16% since January—investors remain nervous that AI might eat into the old-line software business. ServiceNow kicked off earnings for the big SaaS players; Workday and Salesforce are next up.
