Nvidias stock has been trading sideways for months, rising only 1.7% since the beginning of the fourth quarter of last year, slightly below the S&P 500s 3.3% gain over the same period. Nvidias recent lackluster performance is largely due to increased investor concerns about spending hundreds of billions of dollars on AI development, leading to capital outflows from large-cap tech stocks. However, the stock market also faces numerous external risks, including geopolitical instability and reduced expectations of interest rate cuts. All of this puts Nvidia in a delicate position when it releases its fourth-quarter and fiscal year results on Wednesday. Investors expect its results to far exceed Wall Street expectations and raise forecasts for the coming quarters. But the company may have little to do or say to drive a meaningful rise in its stock price. Nvidias stock price has fallen after its last two earnings releases.February 23 - On February 22, local time, Greenlands Prime Minister Jens-Frederic Nielsen stated on social media that Greenland has no intention of accepting a hospital ship that US President Trump planned to send to the island. Nielsen posted on Facebook that day, "The answer here is: No, thank you." He stated that Greenlanders enjoy free healthcare, a system that is a "basic component" of local society, "unlike the United States, where you have to pay for medical care."February 23 – The Iranian Foreign Ministry stated that its foreign minister and Iraqi foreign minister held a telephone conversation on Sunday evening. During the call, they reviewed and discussed the latest regional and international situation. The Iranian foreign minister briefed Iraq on the progress of the Iran-US nuclear negotiations.

Lange stated that clear stipulations and legal certainty are needed before any further measures can be taken, and he will formally propose on the 23rd that the European Parliament temporarily freeze the ratification process of the trade agreement with the US until a proper legal assessment and clear commitment from the US are obtained. The EU-US trade agreement was reached last July, with the US imposing a 15% tariff on EU goods imported into the US.
