US Equities markets rose since our last report as all three major equities indexes S&P 500, Dow Jones and Nasdaq moved to higher ground, yet the S&P500 at the time of this report appears to be slightly in the reds for the week. In today\u2019s report we are to examine fundamentals which may have affected US equities and conclude the report with a technical analysis of S&P 500\u2019s daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Sovereign credit rating gets taken down a notch to AA1 from AAA<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moody\u2019s on Friday downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating, citing concerns over the nation\u2019s growing $36 trillion debt pile. Moody\u2019s stated on Friday that \u201cSuccessive US administrations and Congress have failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend of large annual fiscal deficits and growing interest costs\u201d. The announcement by Moody\u2019s appears to have sent yields on Treasury bonds higher and raised market worries in the US Equities markets. Overall, the reduced confidence in the ability of the US Government and its mounting debt pile may have reduced confidence in the US economy and thus may have weighed on the US Equities markets following the announcement by Moody\u2019s. However, in the same announcement the credit rating agency stated that \u201cWhile GDP growth is likely to slow in the short term as the economy adjusts to higher tariffs, we do not expect that the US’ long-term growth will be significantly affected\u201d implying that the negative implications on the US economy may be short term in nature and thus the negative implications on the US Equities markets may also be short lived as the long term growth outlook may not be significantly affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA earnings next week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

NVIDIA\u2019s earnings are set to be released next Wednesday, the 28th of May, following the closing of the market. The earnings report will be for the fiscal quarter ending April 2025, essentially Q1 2025, with economists currently anticipating the EPS figure to increase slightly from $0.89 per share to $0.893 per share and the company\u2019s revenue to increase to 43.12B from 38.3B. Thus both metrics could potentially aid the company\u2019s stock price should they come in as expected or higher, whereas a lower-than-expected EPS and revenue figure could potentially weigh on the company\u2019s stock price. Moreover, of interest may be the company\u2019s earnings call, where market participants may be interested in the company\u2019s AI commitments and their outlook for the rest of the year. Depending on the narrative emerging from the company\u2019s earnings call, it could potentially aid or weigh on the company\u2019s stock price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
