Joe Terranova of Virtus Investment Partners highlights the significant impact of NVIDIA Corporation NVDA on the broader market, especially in AI and semiconductors.
What Happened: During CNBC’s Closing Bell, Terranova expressed his views on NVIDIA’s influence on the stock market. He emphasized that if NVIDIA’s stock declines, it could lead to a broader market downturn due to its extensive reach in AI software and the semiconductor industry.
"If Nvidia is going to move lower, the market is going to move in that direction as well because the halo of Nvidia touches so many places in AI software and in semiconductors," he said.
