The S&P 500 retreated from near-record highs on Monday, as Nvidia dipped ahead of its quarterly report. Investors await inflation data for clues about the Federal Reserve's interest rate path.

The S&P 500 retreated from near-record highs on Monday, as AI heavyweight Nvidia dipped ahead of its quarterly report. Investors are eagerly awaiting inflation data, seeking clues about the Federal Reserve's forthcoming interest-rate cuts.

Nvidia fell 2.6% before its Wednesday report, which is anticipated to be a major event. Some investors fear a lackluster forecast from Nvidia could undermine Wall Street's rally in AI-related stocks.

Elsewhere, PDD Holdings saw a 29% plunge after missing second-quarter revenue expectations. The Nasdaq and Dow Jones Industrial Average also declined. Reports of oil supply disruptions caused a 1% spike in the energy sector. Investors look to the upcoming Personal Consumption Expenditure data for further insight into inflation and policy easing.
