Wall St recovers as energy shares climb; Nvidia woes deepen

What happened

Wall Street’s main indexes turned higher on Thursday as rising oil prices lifted energy shares, while concerns about Nvidia’s future deepened after CEO Jensen Huang’s exit stirred uncertainty. Nvidia shares were last down 4.2%, while energy gained 1.3%; eight of 11 major S&P 500 sector indexes were positive.

Global impact / market context

Higher oil prices can support energy companies’ revenue, but they may also raise fuel and operating costs for businesses that consume energy. Nvidia’s decline points to uncertainty around a major AI company, which could weigh on its shares and related AI investments if concerns persist.

Analyst inference

The session showed gains extending beyond energy: eight of 11 major S&P 500 sectors were positive, and the Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq were all higher at 11:38 a.m. ET. Yet Nvidia remained weak, leaving the broader advance alongside unresolved AI concerns.

What to watch

1. Watch whether oil prices continue rising after President Donald Trump said the United States does not need a deal with Iran, and whether energy shares keep advancing. Analyst inference
2. Track further updates on Jensen Huang’s exit and Nvidia’s share performance; persistent uncertainty could influence investor demand for Nvidia and other AI-related stocks. Analyst inference
3. The article reports that retail investors bought about $111 million of Nvidia shares in the first half hour, a record opening bid; watch whether buying continues. Confirmed
