📊 Daily Market Update | 27 August 2026

Dear traders — today the market focus shifts to Nvidias earnings reaction + U.S. labour data + Jackson Hole.

Wednesday Wall Street:

📉 Dow -0.21%

➖ S&P 500 -0.02%

➖ Nasdaq -0.08%

U.S. PCE inflation remained sticky at 3.7% YoY, keeping Fed tightening risk in focus.

🟡 GOLD | XAUUSD

Gold fell around 1.3% to $4,596 after recently testing $4,700.

Watch: $4,550 / $4,600 / $4,650-$4,700

A firmer USD triggered profit-taking, while Jackson Hole may become the next major test for yields and Gold.

🤖 NVIDIA / AI

Nvidia delivered another strong quarter:

Revenue: $96.22bn

EPS: $2.22

Q3 revenue guidance: around $108bn

Shares rallied about 4.7% after hours.

The result may support NAS100 and global semiconductor stocks, although rising memory costs remain a margin risk.

🔥 OIL

Oil remains sensitive to Iran-Oman talks over the Strait of Hormuz.

💵 FX: USDJPY around 159 | EURUSD around 1.165

📌 Todays Key Focus

• 8:30 a.m. ET — U.S. Jobless Claims

• Nvidia post-earnings / semiconductor reaction

• Jackson Hole + BOJ policy signals

Short-term volatility may create potential trading opportunities, particularly across Gold, USDJPY, NAS100, AI stocks and Crypto.
