Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 lost 0.6% to 8,024.70. Australia’s headline index of inflation for July fell less than expected, down 3.5% from the previous year.Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, which has been rising steadily in recent sessions, dipped 0.8% to 17,735.39. Analysts believe the higher-than-expected China’s industrial profits reported this week isn’t great enough to maintain the optimism. The Shanghai Composite dipped 0.3% to 2,839.34.

“That’s the major question, and I think all eyes will be on Nvidia as they report this week,” said Bill Merz, head of capital markets research at U.S. Bank Wealth Management. “That’s kind of the elephant in the room, so to speak, that many investors will focus on.” The benchmark S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite each finished 0.2% higher after drifting between small gains and losses most of the day. The benchmark S&P 500 is now within 0.8% of its record high set last month. Slightly more stocks closed lower than those that posted gains on the New York Stock Exchange.
