5 Stocks Under $10 Making Big Moves — You’ll Be Shocked by #1

U.S. stocks were mostly unchanged on Tuesday as Wall Street looked past President Trump’s removal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook and focused on Nvidia’s upcoming earnings. The S&P 500 and Dow hovered near flat, while the Nasdaq rose 0.2%.

Trump’s unprecedented move could face legal challenges and add pressure to the Fed’s independence. If Cook is removed and Trump’s nominee is confirmed, he could gain a majority on the board—especially if Powell steps down after his term ends in May.

Investors remain optimistic about possible rate cuts in September, supported by Powell’s recent comments. Nvidia shares rose 1% ahead of its earnings report, with markets hoping for a boost to megacap tech after recent losses.
