Wall Street Week Ahead: Nvidia Reports Tuesday, Anthropic Eyes a Nasdaq Debut Thursday and the Fed Publishes Its Minutes
After the best week since August, investors face quarterly results from Nvidia, US retail sales, October's Fed minutes and a $64 billion listing, with a December rate rise already priced in.

Wall Street ends the week higher but not at ease. The S&P 500 gained 2.5 percent after four straight weekly declines, and the 10-year Treasury yield sits near 5.15 percent, with the Federal Reserve priced to raise rates again next month. The coming five days bring the first real test of whether the rebound has any footing.
Four events matter most: Nvidia's quarterly results, October's retail sales, the Fed's minutes and what Reuters, in its week-ahead preview, calls a test for a tumultuous AI trade, the planned Nasdaq debut of Anthropic.
When does Nvidia report earnings?
Nvidia is due to report fiscal third-quarter results on Tuesday 17 November. Analysts polled by LSEG expect about $109 billion of revenue and earnings growth near 90 percent, according to the Reuters preview. CMC Markets puts the consensus at earnings of $2.47 a share and a gross margin of 74.1 percent, with the market looking for guidance near $125 billion of revenue for the next quarter.
The numbers matter less than the context. Nvidia has lost a sixth straight week, its market value has fallen from about $5.8 trillion in early October to about $3.9 trillion, and chief executive Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday. Colette Kress, now interim chief executive, will present her first results in that role.
What other data and events are due?
US retail sales for October are expected on Tuesday. The consensus is for no change on the month and a rise of 0.4 percent excluding motor vehicles and parts, FXStreet reported. Home Depot, Target, Lowe's and Walmart all report during the week, giving a direct read on how consumers are coping with higher gasoline prices and borrowing costs.
On Wednesday the Fed publishes minutes of its 27 to 28 October meeting. The central bank says it releases minutes three weeks after a decision, and the Fed's calendar lists the next meeting for 8 and 9 December. Traders see about an 87 percent chance of a quarter-point rise then and 13 percent of a half-point move, so the minutes will be read for how united policymakers were.
Overseas, China's October industrial output and retail sales are due on Monday, UK inflation for October on Wednesday and UK retail sales on Friday, according to CMC and FXStreet. The UK's headline rate was 3.5 percent in September.
When is the Anthropic IPO?
Anthropic is aiming to begin trading on the Nasdaq on Thursday 19 November under the ticker ANT, with pricing expected on 18 November, as The Next Web reported. The deal covers 825 million shares at an indicated range of $70 to $78, raising up to $64.4 billion and valuing the company at about $1.4 trillion at the top of the range. Our report on its prospectus covers the company's financials.
The dates depend on regulatory clearance, and the range could still change. Even so, a listing of that size, arriving in the same week as Nvidia's results and the Fed minutes, will draw cash and attention away from other AI shares. Investors will be asking whether the market can absorb it while yields are above 5 percent.
