Investors are trying to reconcile an unexpected acceleration in the US manufacturing purchasing managers' index in May against a month-over-month decline in US consumer sentiment, though the decline was smaller than the market predicted. Signs of faster-than-expected economic activity prompt investors to pull back on their bets for rate cuts. - Nvidia's $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) shares surged 15% as the business reported stronger-than-expected fiscal Q1 earnings and revenue, which helped to lift the technology sector. Nvidia also projected fiscal Q2 revenue that was higher than the average expectation of analysts at the time. Analog Devices $ADI (Analog Devices Inc) revenue and adjusted earnings per share for the fiscal Q2 exceeded expectations, and the company's shares increased 8.6%. On the downside, energy fell 3.8%, followed by a 3.7% drop in real estate and a 2.0% decline in financials. Other sectors down by more than 1% each included consumer discretionary, consumer staples, health care and utilities. ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ ๐ง๐ž๐ฑ๐ญ? - US markets will be closed on Monday for the Memorial Day holiday.
