Wednesday preview: Nvidia, US debt auction in focus

(Sharecast News) - Investors' focus in the middle of the week will be on US chip-making giant Nvidia, which is due to release its second quarter results after the New York close.

They will arrive with shares in the more than $4trn market-cap firm trading just off their record highs.

Management's guidance for the latest quarter was for revenues of $45bn +/-2%, while gross margins are expected to improve to 72%.

As City analyst Michael Hewson notes, incorporated into that guidance were new US restrictions on sales of chips overseas, which were expected to subtract around $8bn from the topline.

The session is otherwise expected to be on the quiet side with an auction of five-year US Treasuries at 1700 BST arguably the most important event on the economic calendar.

In Germany meanwhile, consultancy GfK will publish the results of its consumer confidence survey for September.

No major economic reports are scheduled for release in the UK.
