Dow Jones Futures: Nvidia Surges Above Buy Point; Jensen Huang CES Speech In Focus

Dow Jones futures, along with S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures, were mixed ahead of Tuesday's open following Monday's stock market action.

Nvidia stock surged more than 3% Monday, breaking out past a 146.54 buy point in a double bottom. Shares added 0.6% in extended trading. Late Monday, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang gave the keynote speech at CES 2025, which started around 9:45 p.m. ET. The event can be viewed on Nvidia's website.

Other artificial intelligence chip stocks also rose bullishly after Hon Hai Precision Industry, also known as Foxconn, announced record fourth-quarter revenues on continued strong demand for AI servers over the weekend.

Nvidia chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, better known as TSMC, jumped to new highs, with a 5.5% gain. Shares are now extended past a 205.63 cup-with-handle entry.

Nvidia stock is a position on IBD SwingTrader and IBD Leaderboard.

Dow Jones Futures Today: Oil Prices, Treasury Yields

On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.1%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.6% and the Nasdaq rallied 1.2%.

The stock market will be closed Thursday in honor of former President Jimmy Carter.

Later this week, Friday's December jobs report takes the spotlight. But ahead of that event, the Federal Reserve will release minutes from its December meeting on Wednesday.

Ahead of Tuesday's opening bell, Dow Jones futures lost 0.1% vs. fair value, while S&P 500 futures inched lower. Tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 futures edged up vs. fair value. Remember that overnight action in Dow Jones futures and elsewhere doesn't necessarily translate into actual trading in the next regular stock market session.

On Monday, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose to 4.61%. And oil prices fell modestly, as West Texas Intermediate futures settled around $73.50 a barrel.
