😌 Markets are not showing any “blow-off” euphoria after Nvidia’s numbers - even though the report itself was undeniably strong. The early tone is cautious: US equity futures are slightly lower, suggesting investors want more than just great results - they want another big upside surprise.
💻 Nvidia: huge fundamentals, muted reaction
Nvidia reported record Q4 revenue of $68.1bn (+20% q/q, +73% y/y), with Data Centre at $62.3bn (+22% q/q). Gross margin stayed exceptional at ~75%, while free cash flow hit $34.9bn for the quarter. Full-year revenue climbed to $215.9bn (+65% y/y). Guidance stayed aggressive too: Q1 revenue seen at ~$78.0bn (±2%). Still, after an initial pop, the share move cooled fast - a reminder that “great” is now the baseline for AI leaders.
🌏 Asia: mixed risk mood
Asian equities were broadly firmer, led by a strong rally in South Korea, while Japan was steadier. The key takeaway: risk appetite is selective - investors are still rotating rather than chasing everything.
💴 FX: yen finds support
The Japanese yen is among the stronger G10 currencies after fresh BOJ signals that further tightening remains on the table if inflation and wages keep pushing higher. Comments from hawkish board member Hajime Takata also kept traders focused on the risk of inflation “overshooting”.
🇰🇷 Bank of Korea: steady rates, new “dot plot”
The Bank of Korea held its benchmark rate at 2.50% and introduced a dot-plot style rate path. The message was clear: the base case is a prolonged pause, though a small minority still sees room for a cut later on.
🛢️ Oil: firm near multi-month highs
Oil prices remain supported by geopolitics and supply-risk headlines as US-Iran tensions stay in focus ahead of talks. Brent is hovering around the $71 area, with WTI near $66.
🥇 Gold: safe-haven bid
Gold is slightly higher as the market keeps one eye on geopolitics and the other on risk sentiment - a classic “hedge first, chase later” mood.
🪙 Crypto pulse
bitcoin is back on the front foot near $68k, with ethereum around $2.06k as traders keep positioning for the next macro catalyst.
