February 22nd - According to foreign media analysis, Nvidia has played a key role in driving the stock market to record highs for years. However, with growing skepticism about artificial intelligence, Wall Street is increasingly worried that the chip giants earnings report next week, regardless of the outcome, will depress its stock price. Nvidias stock price has been trading sideways for months, a significant setback for a company that was recently a leading index performer and achieved triple-digit year-over-year gains. Investors expect Nvidias earnings next week to exceed Wall Street expectations and raise forecasts for the next few quarters. But this may not be enough to boost the stock price. Meanwhile, if Nvidias performance fails to quell investor anxiety about artificial intelligence, it could lead to greater volatility in AI-related stocks and the broader market.February 22 - Libyas state-owned Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO) announced on Sunday that the Sinawan oil field in the Nalut region of western Libya has resumed production.

Gold And Copper Prices Oscillate About $1,750 Despite Fed Hawkishness

As investors anticipated further clarity on the direction of U.S. monetary policy in the coming months, gold prices changed slightly on Monday, but remained near key support levels. In the meanwhile, copper prices remained low because of the likelihood that more COVID issues in China would decrease demand.


The minutes of the most recent Federal Reserve meeting are expected to provide fresh insight into the central bank's intentions for increasing interest rates when they are released on Thursday.


Inflation has fallen more than anticipated in recent months, prompting markets to anticipate a somewhat smaller rate hike in December. However, recent remarks from Fed officials indicate that interest rates may continue to rise for longer than anticipated.


This view is beneficial for the currency and Treasury rates, but it will likely damage metal markets. The greenback appears to have found a bottom following recent losses, and rose 0.1% to 107 on Monday.


As of 19:05 EDT, spot gold rose 0.1% to $1,752.81 per ounce, while gold futures inched up to $1,754.90 per ounce (00:05 GMT). In response to the Federal Reserve's members' warnings of rising interest rates, the value of both assets declined by nearly 2 percent last week.


As a result of the Federal Reserve's streak of quick rate hikes this year, non-yielding assets, such as gold, have become less desirable.


Despite the fact that metal markets climbed earlier this month on signals of a reduction in U.S. inflation, they are expected to remain under pressure in the coming months, as inflation remains well over the Fed's 2% annual target.


Copper prices stayed largely constant on Monday, following a week of significant drops due to concerns over China's import demand.


Copper prices stayed stable at $3.6405 per pound following last week's 7.2% decrease, their worst performance since late August.


China has shut down further sections of the country in response to the greatest COVID outbreak in seven months. This year, the country's strict zero-COVID policy, which led to a multitude of disruptive lockdowns, severely hampered economic growth.


This decreased national demand for commodities.


Despite indications of a limited supply, rising fears of a global recession have also hampered copper's future prospects.
