On today's Morning Brief, hosts Seana Smith and Brad Smith preview Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings, discuss trending tickers, and cover the rise in crude oil (CL=F, BZ=F) prices.

Nvidia has rallied in recent trading sessions but has failed to spark similar gains in the broader market. With the semiconductor giant's earnings due Wednesday, Stifel managing director & applied technology analyst Ruben Roy joins to discuss investor expectations.

The hosts then cover a range of trending tickers, providing stock reactions and company updates for IBM (IBM), PDD Holdings (PDD), and Boeing (BA). Notably, NASA is turning SpaceX for it's ongoing astronaut rescue mission instead of having them return on Boeing's Starliner.

Finally, crude oil prices take center stage as Middle Eastern tensions escalate. Path Trading Partners' Bob Iaccino breaks down the factors driving gains in the commodity.
