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.

Myanmar Earthquake: Death Toll Climbs to 3,145 Amid Ongoing Rescue Efforts

The devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar nearly a week ago has claimed at least 3,145 lives, with search and rescue teams continuing to recover bodies from the rubble. The 7.7 magnitude quake, which had its epicenter near Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city, caused widespread destruction, including collapsed buildings, damaged roads, and destroyed bridges. 

Humanitarian aid groups are working tirelessly to provide survivors with medical care and shelter, as thousands remain homeless and vulnerable to disease outbreaks. The United Nations estimates that over 17 million people have been affected by the disaster, with more than 9 million severely impacted. 

In response to the crisis, Myanmar's military government has declared a temporary ceasefire to facilitate relief efforts. However, ongoing challenges, including communication blackouts and difficult-to-reach areas, have hindered the full assessment of the disaster's impact. 

The coming days will be critical in determining the scale of the disaster and addressing the urgent needs of millions affected. International rescue teams and aid supplies from 17 countries are being deployed to support local efforts. 

This tragedy has compounded Myanmar's existing humanitarian crisis, with millions displaced and in need even before the earthquake struck. The resilience and solidarity of the affected communities and global support will be crucial in navigating this challenging time.
