Friday's close confirms the dispersion, and a second explanation for it lands the same day

What happened

Nvidia closed Friday 08-28 down 4.57% at $217.55, matching rather than reversing the -4.74% intraday level this thread logged that afternoon, while the S&P 500 (-0.25% to 7,711.76), Nasdaq (-0.52% to 26,402.42) and Dow (-0.02% to 53,559.99) all gave back earlier gains to close lower. This is the closing-level confirmation the prior entry explicitly flagged as missing — it was logged intraday, market still open, decimals not asserted. (Yahoo Finance live markets blog) A second, competing explanation arrived the same day: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's Jackson Hole keynote read as hawkish on inflation, pushing the market's implied odds of a September rate hike from 35% to 57% and lifting the 10-year yield 4bp to 4.72%. This complicates rather than confirms the prior entry's "likeliest proximate cause" — that entry attributed the selloff to Nvidia's reported financing-programme pullback; a same-day macro shock (rates, not one company's antitrust exposure) is now an equally plausible driver, and the two aren't disentangled by anything found here.
