The index found a solid support level near 45,200 and, despite being slightly below its peak of 45,760, its long-term bullish trajectory remains robust.<br><br>Markets are largely unfazed by headlines regarding U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s efforts to replace Federal Reserve (Fed) governors with his own selections. Investors appear to be betting that the upcoming economic data will not derail expectations for a potential quarter-point interest rate cut by the Fed in September.<br><br><strong>Key Data and Nvidia Earnings in Focus<br><\/strong><br>The market&#8217;s focus will now shift to significant economic releases. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis is set to publish the second-quarter GDP growth figures on Thursday. The second estimate for Q2 GDP is expected to be revised slightly higher to an annualized rate of 3.1%.<br><br>Friday will bring the week&#8217;s most anticipated report: the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index for July. This inflation gauge is a critical factor for the Fed&#8217;s policy decisions. A significant acceleration in PCE could diminish hopes for a September rate cut. Analysts are forecasting a year-over-year rise in core PCE inflation to 2.9%.<br><br>In corporate news, AI chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) released its latest quarterly earnings report after the close of trading on Wednesday. As a dominant force in the AI-fueled market rally, Nvidia&#8217;s performance is closely watched. The company&#8217;s massive market capitalization means it now constitutes a significant portion of the S&amp;P 500 index. While Nvidia has consistently exceeded analyst revenue expectations, its stock has historically shown volatile performance following earnings reports. The company announced fiscal second-quarter revenue of $46.7 billion, surpassing analyst expectations, but its stock slipped in after-hours trading due to a lower-than-expected guidance for its data center revenue and its outlook for the next quarter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) advanced on Wednesday, mirroring a broader upward trend in the equities market.
