Big Tech stocks brace for Monday as Nvidia CEO vows ‘huge’ OpenAI investment and Apple’s iPhone rebound shows up

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Saturday the chip designer will make a “huge” investment in OpenAI, rejecting a The Wall Street Journal report that talks on an earlier plan for up to $100 billion had stalled. Speaking in Taipei, Huang was asked whether it would be over $100 billion and replied: “No, no, nothing like that.”

Dow Jones today: 179-point drop on Fed-chair shakeup, hot PPI — what investors watch next

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 179.09 points, or 0.36%, closing at 48,892.47 on Friday. The decline followed Donald Trump’s announcement of Kevin Warsh as his choice to lead the Federal Reserve, alongside inflation data coming in hotter than anticipated. The S&P 500 lost 0.43%, while the Nasdaq slid 0.94%. Despite the slip, the Dow still posted a 1.7% gain for January. “You’ve got uncertainty… new priorities, perhaps new monetary direction,” said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Asset Management.

MARKET CALENDAR

Key Events Today

The catalysts most likely to move markets.

#1

U.S. index futures reopen at 18:00 ET

This is the clearest scheduled U.S.-market price-discovery point today and can transmit weekend news into equity-index futures before Monday's cash session.

#2

New Zealand retail sales at 18:45 ET

The Q2 retail package can move NZD and regional risk sentiment. Spillover to U.S. assets is usually secondary unless the result is unusually large.

#3

No scheduled domestic U.S. data or corporate reports

The absence of U.S. releases, earnings, IPO pricings and split events leaves fewer scheduled catalysts, increasing the relative importance of weekend headlines and positioning at the futures reopen.
