Good morning, you're listening to Markets Desk.
Chevron posted a rough first quarter despite production gains and stronger oil prices. The culprit was a combination of supply disruptions and timing mismatches that ate into margins. When volume and price both move in your favor but profits still fall, it tells you operational costs and one-time headwinds were doing serious damage underneath the surface.
Pivoting to tech, Nvidia investors got a lift from an unexpected direction. Elon Musk announced Tesla is projecting a sharp increase in capital investment, with a meaningful portion earmarked for artificial intelligence infrastructure. That kind of commitment from one of the largest potential buyers in the AI space is effectively a demand signal for Nvidia's chip business, and the market read it that way.
And Nvidia's own CEO Jensen Huang is pushing back on the AI doomsday narrative, but not without nuance. Huang told the Special Competitive Studies Project that apocalyptic warnings from some executives reflect a kind of overconfidence he finds counterproductive, arguing those predictions discourage talent pipelines at exactly the moment the industry needs to be building them.
That's the tape.
