what happened
According to Reuters, the three major US stock indexes erased early losses and closed modestly higher, even though Nvidia shares fell about 4% following the resignation of CEO Jensen Huang. CFO Colette Kress will serve as interim chief executive while the company searches for a permanent successor. AMD gained 7%, Broadcom rose 5.4%, and Alibaba fell 7.1% in US trading.
The dollar index hit a 19-month high as traders saw a Federal Reserve rate hike in December as likely. The 10-year Treasury yield rose 7.73 basis points to 5.066%. Brent climbed to $93.82 a barrel.
why it matters
For markets, the key question is less about Huang's exit itself and more about what it means for chipmakers and the AI boom. Rising yields and expectations of a tighter Fed weigh on risk assets, so the resilience of the indexes despite Nvidia's slide stands out.
