US markets keep dropping as everyone eyes NVIDIA's big reveal
US stock markets slid for the fourth day in a row on Tuesday, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow Jones all closing sharply lower.
Meanwhile, gold, crude oil, and even Bitcoin saw gains as investors looked for safer bets instead of stocks.
Why does this matter?
When markets get shaky like this, it usually means people are worried about what's next—so they move their money to things that feel more stable.
All eyes are now on NVIDIA's earnings report (dropping Wednesday), since strong results could boost confidence or another miss might keep the mood gloomy.
For anyone interested in investing or just watching how tech shapes the economy, these shifts are worth keeping an eye on.
What's behind the moves?
Global jitters are fueling the trend: European and Asian stocks also hit monthly lows, while demand for safe-haven assets like gold and US dollars is up.
Rising oil prices—thanks to concerns over Russian sanctions—add to the uncertainty.
And with AI chip demand still hot but valuations under scrutiny, NVIDIA's update could set the tone for what happens next.
