World stocks steady as Nvidia boost tempers Jackson Hole caution
Stocks steadied as Nvidia's 70% revenue growth forecast boosted tech shares, though caution ahead of Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech and Strait of Hormuz uncertainty limited risk appetite. Nvidia's shares rose 6% in premarket trade. European stocks were mixed, with the STOXX 600 down 0.1% and France's CAC 40 down 1%. Asian markets saw gains, with South Korea's KOSPI up 1.5% and Japan's Nikkei down 0.2%. Bitcoin and ether also rose, supported by 'dollar debasement' trades.
