Even in moments of apparent triumph, markets reveal their deeper anxieties. On the evening of August 27, Nvidia reported earnings that surpassed Wall Street's expectations — and was punished for it, its stock falling 3% in after-hours trading as futures across major indices quietly retreated. The episode is a reminder that markets do not simply reward achievement; they reward the closing of a gap between reality and imagination, and when imagination has run too far ahead, even good news arrives as a kind of disappointment.
