Artificial intelligence has once again captured traders' attention. Although Nvidia's performance exceeded expectations, its stock price remained sluggish throughout the day, ultimately closing down more than 5%, dampening market sentiment. Influenced by the weak performance of the U.S. semiconductor sector, benchmark index contracts in Japan and South Korea, where technology stocks hold a relatively high weight, declined, while contracts in Australia and Hong Kong saw slight gains. These fluctuations further indicate the market's high sensitivity to AI-related news, as participants strive to comprehend the long-term implications of this rapidly advancing technology. According to Hardika Singh, an analyst at Fundstrat Global Advisors, the market's mediocre reaction to Nvidia's better-than-expected earnings report is partly because investors now take such exceptional performance for granted.
