It’s time for Yahoo Finance’s Market Minute. I’m John Highland.

00:05 John Highland

We’re about halfway into the trading day, so let’s get a check on the major averages.

00:08 John Highland

because we’re seeing stocks take a bit of a leg lower, and the reason why is Nvidia.

00:11 John Highland

If you look under the hood of the S&P 500, you’d actually see that more than 300 stocks are in positive territory.

00:16 John Highland

It’s Nvidia that’s weighing on the major averages. The company came out with earnings.

00:18 John Highland

They’re actually solid results, but they’re weighing just with the overall AI trade on the major average.

00:23 John Highland

You’re seeing the Dow, Nasdaq and the S&P 500 all in the red.

00:26 John Highland

Nvidia is down about 4%. It was a little changed after the results, but investors are still trying to digest exactly what to do with the AI trade and the disruptive impacts on it.

00:33 John Highland

You’re looking at Salesforce now in positive territory.

00:36 John Highland

I also want to look at mortgage rates.

00:38 John Highland

The US uh 30-year mortgage rate has fallen below 6% for the first time since 2022.

00:43 John Highland

Investors are hoping maybe that will help revive some of the home builders.

00:46 John Highland

And then a quick look at safe havens, you’re seeing treasuries uh move to the downside as investors monitor the latest between the US and Iran on nuclear talks.

00:52 John Highland

And that’s your Yahoo Finance market minute.
