US stocks closed mixed on Tuesday. Nvidia rebounded sharply after three consecutive days of losses. Investors are monitoring recent sector rotations.

Fed Governor Bowman indicated that inflation poses upside risks and it’s too early to consider rate cuts. Fed Governor Cook suggested that job growth might be overstated and expects inflation to cool more rapidly next year.

Boosted by Nvidia’s surge, the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices ended their three-day losing streak. Nvidia, an AI favorite, fell deeper into correction territory with a 16% drop from last week’s record high. Other semiconductor stocks, including AMD, Qualcomm, and Broadcom, also faced pressure on Monday.

Hargreaves Lansdown equity analyst Derren Nathan stated, “From a 12-month perspective, Nvidia’s stock is still up 190%, so it’s not surprising to see some investors locking in profits.”
