Asian stocks slip as everyone waits for NVIDIA and US jobs news
Asian markets dropped for the third day straight, following Wall Street's recent slide.
Investors are playing it safe ahead of NVIDIA's big earnings reveal on Wednesday and a delayed US jobs report coming Thursday.
With so much uncertainty, a gage of Asia-Pacific shares stayed under pressure.
Why does this matter?
NVIDIA is expected to post huge growth—over 50% higher than last year—thanks to big demand for AI tech in its Data Center business.
What they say about future sales could shake up the whole tech scene.
Plus, the upcoming US jobs numbers might give clues about where the economy is headed next.
The bigger picture
It's not just Asia feeling cautious: major US indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also dipped late last week.
Bitcoin hit a low not seen since April, gold prices slipped a bit, oil held steady despite new Russia sanctions, and worries over high interest rates kept the dollar strong.
