Wednesday was the most important day of the quarter, perhaps the year, as investors awaited Nvidia’s latest quarterly results after the closing bell. The bellwether stock reported top- and bottom-line beats, but the street (as of this writing) was holding its breath for commentary from CEO Jensen Huang. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the session, NVDA<\/a> rallied, but jumped before settling 3.67% higher. Other influential names were Super Micro Computer<\/a> which leapt 12.23% and Tesla<\/a> which extended its losing streak by sinking 3.96%. Meanwhile, Intuit<\/a> jumped 12.58% while Dollar General<\/a> slid 5.59%. Bitcoin<\/a> sank another 4.4% to US$84,350 while the U.S. 10-year yield slid below 4.3%. The S&P was flat, the Nasdaq faded after its morning rally to advance 0.26%, while the Dow declined 0.43%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The TSX fared better, adding 0.53% or 133 points as materials and tech led nine of the 11 sectors higher. Key names: OceanaGold<\/a> 5.29%, Stantec<\/a> 6.83%, Fortuna<\/a> 6.25%, and Celestica<\/a> 5.47%. Bank earnings continued with National Bank reporting a top and bottom line beat, but also announced higher provisions for credit losses than expected. NA<\/a> shares sold off by 5.47%. Otherwise, commodities were quiet, with gold adding US$2 to US$2,917, and WTI slipping 0.2% to US$68.80.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 💾 NVIDIA Corporation\u00a0(NVDA-Q)<\/a> +3.67%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 💾 Super Micro Computer\u00a0(SMCI-Q)<\/a> -12.23%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 🚗 Tesla Inc\u00a0(TSLA-Q)<\/a> -3.96%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 💾 Intuit Inc.\u00a0(INTU-Q)<\/a> +12.58%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 🛒 Dollar General Corp.\u00a0(DG-N)<\/a> -5.59%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 🅱 Bitcoin (BTCUSD)\u00a0(CRYPTO:BTC)<\/a> -4.4%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 🥇 Oceanagold Corp\u00a0(OGC-T)<\/a> +5.29%<\/p>\n\n\n\n 🧱 Stantec Inc\u00a0(STN-T)<\/a> +6.83%<\/p>\n\n\n\n ⛏ Fortuna Silver Mines\u00a0(FVI-T)<\/a> +6.25%<\/p>\n\n\n\n
