From Nvidia to BLS – not quite the same enthusiasm

Nvidia just unleashed another blockbuster quarter, blowing past revenue forecasts by roughly $2bn and lifting data-centre income well beyond the $50bn threshold. Add Jensen Huang’s remark that Blackwell demand is “off the charts” and a fresh revenue outlook of $65bn, and you have all the ingredients for a renewed surge in market confidence and a lift across tech benchmarks. Yet the more pressing issue is whether this momentum can actually last. Away from Nvidia’s glow, the macro landscape is getting heavier. The unexpected postponement of the October jobs figures, lingering uncertainty around October CPI, shrinking odds of a Fed cut, and a fresh climb in US yields are all putting pressure on sentiment. Meanwhile, Japanese bond yields continue to spike, a move that threatens to choke off easy liquidity and revive the risk of reverse carry trades. The tone of this market can shift in an instant — and investors sense it. Listen to find out more!
