Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, was down 2.5 per cent after the artificial intelligence chipmaker reported strong quarterly results but issued lacklustre sales forecasts.

The dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of currencies, rose 0.57 per cent to 107.67, with the euro down 0.73 per cent at $1.0397 after falling to $1.0333, its lowest since Nov. 30, 2022.
