Nvidia stock outlook and market fallout
Entities: Nvidia Corp · Polymarket · Nvidia Corp. · OpenAI · Micron Technology
Overview
The Nvidia story that began with mixed technical signals on July 27 has now widened into a broader market correction. After hovering around the $207 pivot, the shares fell 2.99% on July 29, closing at $191.12 and wiping roughly $238 billion of market value in two days. The drop followed reports that Nvidia is negotiating a $250 billion financing guarantee for OpenAI’s U.S. data‑center project, a structure analysts say could inflate AI‑infrastructure demand and raise credit‑risk concerns.
The slump rippled through the AI‑chip sector, erasing about $1.3 trillion in market capitalization this week. Memory‑chip leaders SK Hynix, Samsung and Micron each lost $170‑$180 billion, while AMD and TSMC shed $110‑$119 billion. Asian markets reacted sharply; South Korea’s Kospi plunged nearly 11% in its worst session in five months, and Korean retail investors faced steep losses after a rapid rally earlier in the year.
Asian equity hedge funds that had profited from early AI bets recorded an average 18.6% loss this month – the largest monthly drawdown on record – erasing about 21 percentage points of year‑to‑date gains. Prediction‑market participants on Polymarket still see a 50% chance Nvidia will close August above $240, but now assign a 52% probability of ending below $200, reflecting heightened volatility ahead of the upcoming FY 2027 earnings report.
