what happened
US stock indexes closed lower after Nvidia abruptly removed Jensen Huang as chief executive, one of the key figures behind the artificial-intelligence boom, Dow Jones Newswires reported. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 189.40 points, or 0.36%, to 52,297.09. The S&P 500 dropped 0.35% to 7,592.40, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.39% to 25,366.09.
According to Update, chief financial officer Colette Kress will serve as interim chief executive after Huang admitted to two extramarital relationships. Nvidia shares fell 4.3% to $166.19 and are down 31% from their October 6 closing high. Advanced Micro Devices gained 5.9% to $585.30.
WTI crude rose 2.6% to $88.74 a barrel after President Trump said the US no longer needed a deal with Iran. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 5.102%, its highest since October 21, while gold futures slid 2.9% to $3,878.40 an ounce.
why it matters
Higher bond yields and a firmer dollar, driven by expectations of a rate hike in December, are weighing on gold and risk assets. Higher oil prices add to inflation concerns, and uncertainty over Nvidia's leadership before its quarterly report could keep tech stocks under pressure.
