Broad ETFs ease; single-stock earnings risk stays loud
QQQ and SPY are fractionally below Tuesday’s closes in overnight trading. Intuit is the outlier: its 24-hour quote is down 10.2% from the regular close after fiscal-2027 guidance missed expectations. Semtech holds a post-earnings gain, while Nvidia is little changed before Wednesday’s results.

Cross-asset pulse
10:17 p.m. EDT · latest available
Oil fell more than 2% as markets priced some hope for a temporary Strait of Hormuz shipping channel. Lower energy pressure also pulled the 10-year yield down after Tuesday’s 6.5-basis-point decline.
Wednesday decision points
all times EDT (UTC−4)
Soft PCE, firm auction demand and Nvidia guidance above the market’s high bar could turn Tuesday’s narrow tech rebound into broader participation.
Sticky inflation or weak duration demand would push yields back up; a Nvidia miss would hit the market’s most concentrated leadership.
QQQ $710.72 close, S&P breadth above 50%, the 10-year near 4.63%, and whether Intuit can hold above its overnight low.
