Stock indexes settled mostly lower on Thursday, although the Dow Jones Industrials posted a 1-week high. The broader market was under pressure on Thursday as Nvidia’s earnings failed to alleviate concerns about an overheated AI economy, which weighed on chipmakers and AI-infrastructure stocks. Although Nvidia easily beat Q4 earnings estimates and forecast a Q1 outlook above expectations, the stock closed down more than -5% amid uncertainty over China, and it will continue to exclude data center revenue from China in its forecasts due to concerns about Chinese government approval.
