Nvidia Slips 0.06%, Microsoft 0.3% Lower in Quiet Tech Session

Nvidia (NVDA) dipped 0.06% to $225.16 in Tuesday trading. Microsoft (MSFT) fell 0.3% to $495.40. Both stocks have been supported by sustained AI spending expectations. The session was quiet ahead of U.S. inflation data due later this week.

AlphaScala's proprietary scoring system rates NVDA 79 out of 100, a Strong label. MSFT scores 71, classified as Moderate. The scores reflect relative momentum and valuation metrics.

Traders said the next catalyst for the group is the CPI print. A hot number could pressure growth stocks by pushing back rate cut expectations. A soft print would revive bets on lower rates, which tend to support higher valuations for tech. The broader tech sector showed little direction. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2%.
