Rate Hike Odds Jump to 57% as Nvidia Drops 4.6% After Warsh
Rate-hike odds jumped to roughly 57% after Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech, sending Treasury yields higher as Nvidia and gold fell. Now the August jobs report could determine whether that shift in Fed expectations gains momentum or becomes more complicated.

Rate Hike Odds Jump to 57% as Nvidia Drops 4.6%
Traders sharply increased the odds of a September rate hike after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh put inflation back at the center of the market during his Jackson Hole speech. The shift pushed Treasury yields higher, pressured gold, and sent Nvidia down 4.6% just one day after its powerful AI-driven rally. Now attention turns to Friday’s August jobs report.
Watch Today’s Market Breakdown
See why rate-hike expectations jumped, how the move reached Nvidia, bonds and gold, and why the August jobs report matters next.
Today’s Market Setup
Warsh’s inflation message changed the market’s interest-rate expectations quickly, with the impact showing up across bonds, technology stocks and gold.
September Hike Odds Reach 57%
Traders raised the implied probability of a September rate hike from about 35% before the Jackson Hole speech to roughly 57% by Friday’s close after Warsh emphasized that the Fed’s 2% inflation target remains firm.
Treasury Yields Pressure Nvidia
The two-year Treasury yield jumped about 13 basis points to 4.36%, a one-month high. The Nasdaq fell about half a percent while Nvidia dropped 4.6%, reversing part of the previous session’s 8.7% surge.
Gold Falls as Rates Reprice
Gold dropped about 3% as traders priced in greater odds of higher interest rates. The next major test is the August jobs report on Friday, September 4, with a Reuters poll expecting about 58,000 jobs.
What Matters From Here
The market has repriced September policy risk. The next question is whether incoming labor data reinforces that shift or complicates it.
- Does the August jobs report strengthen the case for a September rate hike or make the Fed’s decision more difficult?
- Can Nvidia regain momentum if Treasury yields remain under upward pressure?
- Does gold stabilize if rate-hike expectations stop increasing, or does tighter-policy risk remain the dominant pressure?

Nvidia Adds $442 Billion in One Day as AI Trade Broadens
Nvidia added about $442 billion in market value in a single session as enthusiasm around AI spread into major software stocks. But with market strength still concentrated, Brent crude near $90 and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh in focus, the next question is whether that momentum can broaden and hold.

Nvidia Adds $442 Billion in One Day as AI Rally Broadens
Nvidia surged 8.7% Thursday and added about $442 billion in market value after investors digested its forecast for roughly 70% revenue growth next fiscal year. Bloomberg called it the second-largest one-day market-value gain ever by any stock. But beneath the headline, the rally remained heavily concentrated — while oil and interest-rate risk are still pushing in the opposite direction.
Watch Today’s Market Breakdown
See how Nvidia added $442 billion in one session, where the AI trade broadened, and why oil and Federal Reserve policy still matter.
Today’s Market Setup
Nvidia delivered an enormous boost to the major indexes, and stronger software forecasts showed that enthusiasm around AI is spreading. The challenge is determining how broad that strength really is as oil and interest-rate risk remain in focus.
Nvidia Adds About $442 Billion
Nvidia shares jumped 8.7% after investors digested a forecast for roughly 70% revenue growth next fiscal year. The move added about $442 billion to Nvidia’s market value in one session, reinforcing how strongly expectations for continued AI growth can still move the broader market.
AI Strength Spreads to Software
Salesforce surged nearly 23% and CrowdStrike gained more than 20% after both companies raised forecasts. Their gains helped ease fears that the AI trade would reward chipmakers alone, although technology was still the only S&P 500 sector that finished Thursday higher.
Oil Keeps Inflation Risk Alive
Brent crude rebounded about 2% to just under $90 as hopes for a quick U.S.-Iran diplomatic breakthrough faded. That creates another complication for markets as investors turn toward Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh and the outlook for inflation and interest rates.
What Matters From Here
Thursday proved that AI enthusiasm can still move hundreds of billions of dollars quickly. The next question is whether that momentum can become broader and survive competing pressure from inflation and interest rates.
- Can strength broaden beyond technology after it was the only S&P 500 sector to finish Thursday higher?
- Do stronger forecasts from Salesforce and CrowdStrike signal that the AI trade is expanding beyond semiconductor companies?
- What does Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signal at Jackson Hole about inflation, interest rates, and the possibility of another rate hike?
The Headlines Are Only the First Step
The free Market Preview explains why Nvidia’s historic market-value gain matters and why the AI story is beginning to reach beyond chipmakers.

Nvidia Earnings Beat Sends Stock Up 5% on AI Outlook
Nvidia’s earnings sent the stock from an initial after-hours decline to a roughly 5% gain after management delivered a much stronger long-term AI growth outlook. Now investors have to weigh that renewed AI optimism against elevated inflation and Friday’s Jackson Hole signal on interest rates.

Nvidia Earnings Beat Sends Stock From Red to +5% as AI Outlook Surges
Nvidia delivered $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue, more than double a year ago, but the stock initially fell after hours. The reversal came after management said it expects about 70% revenue growth in the fiscal year ending January 2028, versus roughly 44% analysts had projected. Shares swung from down more than 1% to up roughly 5%. The question now is whether AI growth can keep overpowering a still-hot inflation backdrop.
Watch Today’s Market Breakdown
See what changed during Nvidia’s earnings call, why the stock reversed higher, and how inflation and interest rates still complicate the AI trade.
Today’s Market Setup
Nvidia strengthened the long-term AI growth story, but the market is still balancing that optimism against inflation and the cost of money.
Nvidia’s Growth Remains Enormous
Nvidia reported $96.2 billion in revenue, more than double a year earlier. Data-center revenue reached $89 billion, up 117%. The numbers reinforced how rapidly AI infrastructure demand is still growing — while also showing why expectations around Nvidia remain unusually high.
Guidance Changed the Reaction
The stock initially fell more than 1% after hours before reversing sharply. Nvidia said it expects about 70% revenue growth in the fiscal year ending January 2028 and guided next-quarter revenue to approximately $108 billion. Shares then climbed roughly 5%.
Inflation Still Pushes Back
S&P 500 e-mini futures were up about 0.5% early this morning after the major indexes finished slightly lower Wednesday. But the Fed’s preferred PCE inflation gauge held at 3.7% in July, above forecasts, keeping interest-rate risk in the market.
What Matters From Here
Nvidia answered an important question about AI demand. The next issue is whether that strength can remain the dominant market force as investors reassess inflation and September rate risk.
- Can Nvidia’s stronger long-term growth outlook continue supporting the broader AI trade if inflation remains elevated?
- Does the positive reaction in S&P 500 futures develop into broader market strength after Wednesday’s slightly lower close?
- What signal does Fed Chair Kevin Warsh give Friday at Jackson Hole about September rates and the future cost of money?
