Nvidia (NVDA) Shares Surpass $200 for the First Time


Yesterday, Nvidia?s (NVDA) share price climbed above the psychological threshold of $200 for the first time, pushing the company?s market capitalisation close to $5 trillion.

Why Are NVDA Shares Rising Today?
Several bullish factors are driving Nvidia?s share price higher:

→ Massive order backlog: The company reported pre-orders for its AI processors totalling an astonishing $500 billion.

→ Strategic partnership with the US government: CEO Jensen Huang announced plans to build seven AI supercomputers for the US Department of Energy.

→ Expansion into telecoms: Nvidia has invested $1 billion in Nokia, acquiring a 2.9% stake in the Finnish company to jointly develop AI-RAN and 6G technologies.

The Pound and Euro Fall as Dovish Fed Tone Fails to Weaken the Dollar


European currencies came under pressure after the latest Federal Reserve meeting. Despite a 0.25% rate cut, the US dollar held firm, as Fed Chair Jerome Powell?s comments stopped short of signalling the start of a sustained easing cycle. Markets had seemingly expected stronger hints of further cuts; however, Powell emphasised that future decisions would depend on incoming data and the broader economic outlook.

Investor disappointment deepened after the Fed acknowledged uncertainty in assessing inflation prospects and the effects of the partial US government shutdown on data collection. This prompted traders to adjust expectations: while the probability of another rate cut in December now stands at nearly 95%, there is little consensus on the pace of future policy easing.

Against this backdrop, both the euro and pound slipped against the dollar, reflecting stronger US assets and rising Treasury yields. The single currency also remains under pressure ahead of the upcoming European Central Bank meeting, where markets are hoping for clearer guidance on the future direction of monetary policy.

Investors remain cautious before the release of key eurozone data on inflation, GDP, and business activity. Until then, EUR/USD remains under pressure, while GBP/USD is hovering near local lows.

Forex Traders Focus on Central Bank Decisions


As expected, the Federal Reserve yesterday cut the Federal Funds Rate from 4.25% to 4.00%, while Jerome Powell?s remarks reduced the likelihood of further rate cuts. Meanwhile, decisions by other key central banks are also influencing the currency markets, according to Forex Factory:

→ The Bank of Canada lowered its policy rate from 2.50% to 2.25%, in line with market expectations. Its official statement highlighted risks of slower GDP growth, ?continued weakness in the economy?, and concerns over U.S. trade relations and tariffs.

→ The Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept interest rates unchanged but signalled readiness to raise borrowing costs if economic conditions allow. This has shifted traders? focus towards a possible rate hike as early as December.

→ The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to leave its key rate steady, with the decision due at 16:15 GMT+3 today.

→ Next week, both the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Bank of England are scheduled to announce their policy decisions.

Against this backdrop, attention is increasingly turning to the Dollar Index (DXY) chart today.

Meta Platforms (META) shares plunge 11%


On Wednesday, Meta Platforms (META) released its quarterly report, which included several positive highlights:
→ revenue rose to $51.2 billion (forecast: $49.5 billion);
→ the size of the daily active audience increased to 3.54 billion people.

However, META?s share price fell below the psychological threshold of $700, hitting its lowest level in almost five months. This drop was triggered by two unpleasant surprises revealed in the report.

Tax write-offs
According to media reports, due to new US tax legislation (referred to as the ?One Big Beautiful Bill Act?), the company recorded a one-off income tax expense of $15.93 billion.

Because of this write-off, earnings per share (EPS) came in at $1.05 (analysts had expected $6.72). However, the company clarified that excluding this one-off item, EPS would have been $7.25, which would have been a very strong result.

AI-related expenses
Another factor that may have alarmed shareholders is that Mark Zuckerberg?s company raised its capital expenditure forecast for 2025 to $70?72 billion. These funds will go towards building data centres and purchasing AI chips.

In essence, Meta Platforms is striving to take a leading position in the AI space and is prepared to spend tens of billions to achieve that goal. For shareholders, this means that even as revenue grows, net profit is being eroded by massive spending?and it remains unclear when these costs will pay off.
