Nvidia was one of the most overbought names on Wall Street this week as the artificial intelligence darling crossed the $3 trillion market cap threshold. The RSI, which measures the magnitude and speed of price moves, is a popular metric used to evaluate whether shares are overbought or oversold. On the other hand, names such as Nvidia with a 14-day RSI above 70 are thought of as overbought, indicating a possible selling opportunity. Nvidia shares have climbed more than 8% this week alone, eclipsing the $3 trillion market cap mark to become the second-most valuable U.S. company, behind Microsoft . Well-known stocks including T-Mobile , Walmart and Best Buy were also among the most overbought this week.

The next rate decision from the Federal Reserve coupled with May inflation data, both on Wednesday, will play key roles in how stocks perform next week — quite probably lending added volatility to an already jittery market. The Fed's rate decision All eyes are on the Fed next week and its rate decision that's set to come down at 2 p.m. Wednesday. But investors have tempered expectations since then amid a spate of stubborn inflation data. That makes May's consumer price index report due out before the bell Wednesday another key focal point for investors. Economists polled by Dow Jones are bracing for the consumer price index to rise 3.4% year over year and 0.1% on a monthly basis.

Investors will be looking to May's nonfarm payrolls report for more clarity on whether the Federal Reserve can ease up in its battle against inflation. "The jobs report for May is now particularly consequential," Citigroup economist Andrew Hollenhorst said in a note. "A weaker reading [of less than 175,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 4% or more] would be a final piece of evidence that the slowdown will continue. Citi expects that the report will show just 140,000 jobs, with the unemployment rate hitting 4% for the first time since January 2022. Markets currently are pegging the first rate cut to come in September, with one more on the way in December.

On top of that, the S & P 500 is trading at record levels thanks in large measure to the unrelenting momentum in Nvidia. Hot jobs growth + weaker-than-expected wage growth: The S & P 500 would advance 0.25% to 0.75% in this event, the traders said. In-line jobs growth + strong wage growth: This outcome indicates inflation persists given tight labor market conditions. Disappointing jobs growth + hotter-than-expected wage expansion: JPMorgan traders think this would be the worst outcome for market bulls, with the S & P 500 losing 1.25%-2%.

The 2-year Treasury yield was last at 4.7931% after rising by more than two basis points. U.S. Treasury yields were higher on Wednesday as investors considered the state of the economy amid a series of key data releases. Yields slid earlier in the week as investors assessed the latest economic data. The state of the labor market is a key factor in the central bank's decision-making when it comes to monetary policy. More key labor market data is due Friday in form of nonfarm payrolls figures and the unemployment rate for May.

Nvidia is set to make a 10-for-one forward stock split on June 7, which means your one share will become 10 shares. A stock split won't change a company's economic value or the value you hold of it. It only changes the proportionate amount of ownership that each share represents, says Dave Sekera, Morningstar's chief US market strategist. After the stock split, its fair value would go to $105, Sekera noted. One notable impact that could result from a lower share price is Nvidia's increased potential of being included in price-weighted indexes, specifically the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Of those seven stocks, Mizuho said its investment rating on Lowe's and PayPal were also above the Street consensus. Mizuho analyst David Bellinger's $280 price target implies that the stock could rally 29% from its Monday closing price. "We view Lowe's as decisively well-positioned as home improvement demand recovers and unleashes outsized, double-digit earnings expansion in the process," the analyst wrote. Similarly, financial technology platform PayPal has risen only about 4% this year, leaving its valuation "compelling" at current prices, according to Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev. Dolev's $90 price target is 42% above the stock's current price.
