Nvidia Beats Expectations, but Market Sentiment Remains Neutral Despite Gradual Improvement

Nvidia’s numbers beat expectations, but Wall Street’s reaction was rather lukewarm. Sentiment in financial markets remains neutral, although improvements are being recorded in riskier assets (crypto aside). The day offers few macroeconomic catalysts for investors, and attention will once again focus on earnings reports (important on both sides of the Atlantic) and geopolitical developments. Futures indicate a slightly positive opening for Europe and a slightly negative one for the United States.
