Stock Market Today: Dow Dives 700 Points On Surging Oil, Shocking Jobs Report; Nvidia Slides (Live Coverage)

Nvidia, a bellwether tech stock, experienced significant declines, contributing to the broader market sell-off. Investors are now closely watching upcoming inflation data and Federal Reserve commentary for insights into future monetary policy and market direction, as the strong labor market complicates the disinflation narrative.
