This follows a weak regular trading session. The Dow and S&P 500 logged their fourth straight losing sessions, and the Nasdaq Composite fell for the fifth time in six days. Overall, the Nasdaq, the S&P 500, and the Dow dropped 1.2%, 0.8%, and 1.1%, respectively.
The pressure comes just ahead of Nvidia’s third-quarter results, due after Wednesday’s close. Beyond NVDA, investors are also watching earnings from major retailers Target (TGT), Lowe’s (LOW), and TJX Companies (TJX), set to report tomorrow morning.
