U.S. stocks rise Monday as oil falls; Nvidia drops on CEO probe
The Associated Press reported U.S. indexes were higher Monday morning as Brent crude fell, even as Nvidia declined after saying it is investigating its chief executive.
Based on reporting by AP
U.S. stock indexes were higher Monday morning, the Associated Press reported, as oil prices declined and several companies posted results that topped estimates1.
As of 9:35 a.m. Eastern, AP said the S&P 500 was up 1.1 percent, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 606 points, or 1.2 percent, and the Nasdaq composite was up 1.4 percent, a second session of gains after last week's drop tied to concerns that Democratic wins in the midterm elections could slow AI data-center construction1.
Brent crude was down 5.5 percent to $92.96 a barrel, AP said, after trading above $112 earlier in November amid uncertainty over the war with Iran1. AP attributed the latest decline in part to weekend comments from President Donald Trump that a resumption of strikes is highly unlikely if negotiations show progress, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Sunday that Iranian demands had at times been outrageous1.
Constellation Energy rose 0.8 percent after reporting summer profit and revenue above estimates, AP said1. Advanced Micro Devices rose 5.5 percent, CoreWeave slipped 0.3 percent, and Nvidia fell 6.3 percent1. AP said Nvidia is investigating CEO Jensen Huang after he acknowledged an intimate relationship with a business executive who, in reporting AP cited from The New York Times, U.S. intelligence determined was gathering information for China. AP said Nvidia's board stated it has no reason to believe national security or company secrets were compromised, and a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson rejected the allegations1.
