Market Cools as Nvidia’s Blowout Earnings Fail to Ignite Futures

  U.S. stock futures were mixed Thursday morning as investors digested Nvidia’s latest blockbuster earnings—results that impressed on paper but didn’t translate into broad market enthusiasm. Dow futures edged slightly higher, while S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures hovered near the flatline, reflecting a cautious mood across Wall Street. Nvidia delivered strong beats on quarterly revenue and profit, along with guidance that topped expectations. Despite the stellar numbers, the stock’s initial surge faded as traders questioned whether the AI boom can continue delivering outsized returns. Shares ultimately pared gains to under 1% in early trading. The broader market’s hesitation stems from growing concerns about the sustainability of heavy AI investment. Salesforce’s weaker outlook added to the uncertainty, dragging software shares and reinforcing fears that not all tech giants will benefit equally from the AI wave.

Trump Ordered to Pay $454 Million in New York Fraud Case

 


In a significant legal development, former President Donald Trump has been formally ordered by a New York judge to pay more than $454 million after being found liable for manipulating his net worth. The civil fraud case was brought by New York State’s Attorney General, Letitia James.

Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump had consistently misrepresented his wealth over several years to secure favorable loans and facilitate real estate deals. As a result, he was directed to pay $354.9 million in penalties along with nearly $100 million in interest. This staggering judgment leaves the former president facing substantial financial consequences.

Trump now has a 30-day window to appeal the verdict, a course of action he has publicly vowed to pursue. During this period, he must either deposit “sufficient funds” into a court-controlled account or secure a bond for the total amount. New York Attorney General Letitia James has also indicated that she may seek to seize some of Trump’s assets if he fails to cover the bill, although the appeal process is likely to delay any collection efforts.

As the clock starts ticking on Trump’s appeals, the eyes of legal experts and the public remain fixed on this high-stakes case. Whether the former president can successfully challenge the judgment or whether it will stand as a landmark decision in New York’s legal history remains to be seen.
