Wall St futures slip ahead of Walmart's results, Fed meet
U.S. stock index futures slipped on Thursday, as investors stepped to the sidelines and awaited an earnings report from big-box retailer Walmart and clues on the Federal Reserve's next policy move from a three-day conference in Jackson Hole. A sharp decline in technology stocks such as Nvidia, AMD, Palantir and Meta earlier this week signaled investor fears that the stocks, which have soared since April lows, are now overvalued, while Washington's growing interference in the sector has also raised alarms. The selloff could also be a result of investors paring back their stock exposure during a traditionally rocky period for equities, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. "Equities could be more at risk of volatility amid this week's selloff in AI-related stocks on the back of renewed doubts about AI valuations," said Raffi Boyadjian, lead market analyst at brokerage XM. "Although dip buyers have stepped in to stabilize the market, it's too early to rule out a further slump in mega-cap tech stocks." In premarket trading, Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Palantir were marginally up, while Meta was flat. The market focus is now on Walmart's results, expected before the bell. Its shares were down 1.3%. Investors expect the major retailer to strike a cautious tone on customer demand as the labor market cools and inflation ticks up. Reports from other retailers such as Target and Home Depot earlier this week painted a mixed picture, and now investors are trying to gauge how U.S. tariffs would impact holiday sales later this year. At 05:43 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were down 110 points, or 0.24%, S&P 500 E-minis were down 6.25 points, or 0.10% and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were down 5.25 points, or 0.02% The Fed's annual symposium is expected to kick off on Thursday, with Powell scheduled to speak on Friday at 10 a.m. ET. Traders are looking for any commentary from Chair Jerome Powell that would signal an interest rate cut in September following recent job market weakness. Minutes from the central bank's July meeting showed on Wednesday that policymakers had struck a cautious tone and expect the current interest rates to be not far above the neutral level - where economic activity is neither stimulated nor constrained. That led traders to pare back odds of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut in September to 79% from 99.9% last week, according to data compiled by LSEG. A weekly report on jobless claims, a private report on business activity and remarks from Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic, are also expected on Thursday. Among other market movers, Coty slumped 22% after the beauty products maker forecast a drop in current-quarter sales on weak U.S. spending. CoreWeave rose 1.7% after trading firm Jane Street Group reported it has a 5.4% passive stake in the Nvidia-backed company. (Reporting by Johann M Cherian; Editing by Shinjini Ganguli)

Nvidia starts work on upgraded chip offering for China
Reuters has reported that Nvidia is developing an upgraded chip offering for the Chinese market, this announcement comes on the heels of the company recently gaining approval from U.S. authorities to sell its H20 chip in the country. Citing a pair of sources the news website noted although work on the new chip was ongoing, approval to sell it in the market was far from guaranteed given concerns in the US about vendors selling high-end AI technology in China. The chip, initially known as the B30A, is expected to be based on more modern architecture than the H20 but will still deliver much lower computing power than Nvidia's flagship for markets with no US trade restrictions in place. Nvidia cut a deal with authorities in the US to restart sales of the China-specific H20 earlier this month having had to halt shipments when authorities deemed the chip in need of a licence to be sold in the country. In a statement in April, the chip company explained that change of government policy was due to fears it could be used or diverted for use in a supercomputer. Recommencement of sales of the H20 has drawn criticism from some in the US, but has also been the subject of a probe by authorities in China which raised potential security concerns subsequently denied by the company.
