Stocks Reporter FXStreet

NASDAQ:NVDA has been on a roll this year as one of the hottest semiconductor stocks on the market. But after gaining 114% in 2021, the stock has pulled back in recent weeks, shedding nearly 10% over the past trading week. On Monday, shares of NVIDIA fell a further 6.75% and closed the trading session at $281.61. It was another red day for growth and tech stocks as the NASDAQ fell another 1.39% to start the week. The Dow Jones dropped by 320 basis points and the S&P 500 also pulled back from its recent record highs, falling by 0.91% during Monday’s session.

Stay up to speed with hot stocks' news!

Wall Street analysts weighed in on the semiconductor industry and pointed out a few stocks they prefer to NVIDIA’s high valuation right now. Investment bank JPMorgan is focused on Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM), Evercore likes Micron (NASDAQ:MU), and several firms including Citigroup selected Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO) as their favorite semiconductor stock moving forward. It was a bit of a slight to two of the bigger names in the sector NVIDIA and AMD (NASDAQ:AMD), but given both stocks have sky-rocketed this year, it’s not surprising that these analysts are targeting stocks with room to grow.

NVIDIA stock forecast

With NVIDIA’s proposed acquisition of UK chip designer ARM now dead in the water, investors are likely taking their profits and moving on to other stocks. Much of the forward-looking anticipation for NVIDIA had the $40 billion acquisition baked into its stock price, and investors took the signal of NVIDIA executives like CEO Jensen Huang selling their shares to ditch their own. With the upcoming boom of the metaverse and all of the other segments NVIDIA has, this is likely just providing a buying opportunity for those who are looking to get into the stock.

Gold recovers the $4,100 level as US Dollar weakens further

The FOMC: Rates left on hold; dollar falls as Warsh fails to vote for hike

The Fed kept interest rates on hold today, defying a 30% chance in the Fed Funds Futures market that rates would rise. The Committee voted 9-3 to keep rates on hold, with governors Kashkari, Hammack and Logan all voting to hike rates due to concerns about inflation. The immediate market reaction has been a sharp drop in the USD on a broad basis.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
