US stocks were mixed on Monday, with tech shares tumbling while the Dow hit a record high.
Markets are eyeing Nvidia's upcoming earnings report as crucial for assessing the strength of the AI trade.
Investors are also watching jobless claims and the PCE Index for Fed rate cut clues.

He added: "I think this Blackwell piece is probably the most important x-factor about the quarter, and so that's why I think the stock is going to trade down modestly."
Investors will also be keeping a close eye on initial jobless claims set to be released on Thursday, followed by the PCE Index on Friday, which is considered to be the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge.
That data will help determine how much the Fed cuts interest rates by in September.
"Tomorrow's consumer confidence figures, Wednesday's Nvidia earnings, Thursday's unemployment claims and pending home sales reports and Friday's Personal Income & Outlays print will certainly move the needle on how far and fast the Fed will go," Interactive Brokers economist José Torres said in a Monday note.
