1. This week’s economic calendar is dominated by labor market data, with investors closely watching Friday’s Nonfarm Payrolls report, unemployment rate, and wage growth figures for clues on the economy and future Federal Reserve policy. Consensus forecasts suggest a modest cooling in job creation, with payroll growth expected to slow from 115,000 to 105,000 while unemployment remains steady at 4.3%, indicating a labor market that is softening but not deteriorating.
2. THE MAIN STORY THIS WEEK focuses on Nvidia Unveils the Next Era of AI Computing.   NVIDIA’s GTC Taiwan event provided one of the clearest views yet into the future of artificial intelligence infrastructure. CEO Jensen Huang introduced the company’s next generation AI platform, Vera Rubin, named after the pioneering astronomer.
