US Stocks | Morning Session | August 28
[After-hours close]
NVDA’s earnings sent shockwaves + CRM surged, igniting the AI rally. All three major indexes closed higher: the Nasdaq led with +1.57%, the S&P 500 rose +0.72%, and the Dow gained +0.20%. The VIX stayed low at 14.49, with risk appetite fully on.
[Pre-market futures]
Futures were mixed across the board: Dow futures edged up by 47 points, while Nasdaq futures fell by 72 points and S&P futures slipped by 7 points. After the AI frenzy, some profit-taking emerged, but the overall tone remains optimistic.
[Tonight’s schedule]
Key focus: the U.S. July PCE inflation data, which will determine September rate-cut expectations. Multiple Federal Reserve officials are speaking in succession.
[Individual stocks]
· Nvidia (NVDA) +8.74% on heavy volume, with a blowout surge; AI compute demand beat expectations
· Salesforce (CRM) +22.58%, standing like a pillar; a SaaS turnaround signal
· MSTR +11.54%, COIN +4.92%; Bitcoin spot ETF flows continue to be realized steadily
[IBIT]
Bitcoin spot ETF IBIT rose +1.87% to $45.29. It has gained 3.7% over the past five days; the institutional accumulation pace is unchanged.
[Crypto outlook]
NVDA, MSTR, and COIN moved higher in sync—AI leaders and crypto bellwethers resonated together. BTC holds above 79,500, and ETH is holding firm at 2,500. If tonight’s PCE is moderate and rate-cut expectations continue to build, crypto could extend its strength; otherwise, watch for choppy consolidation at elevated levels.
Beginner guide: NVDA’s earnings matter because its data-center GPU shipment figures reflect global AI companies’ spending expansion enthusiasm—one of the most direct indicators of industry momentum.
