04:49 AM EDT, 08/25/2026 (MT Newswires) -- BHP's (BHP) Port Hedland unions have submitted a counterproposal for a new wage agreement ahead of talks with the company scheduled for Sept. 8, Reuters reported Tuesday. According to the report, the counterproposal follows workers' rejection of BHP's previous offer, which the unions said would have maintained significant pay inequalities among workers. BHP said it continues to make progress toward an agreement addressing key workforce concerns, with a meeting with Australia's Fair Work Commission scheduled for Sept. 15, Reuters added. BHP didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Nvidia continues to plummet, losing $430 billion in market value over two days, with Microsoft temporarily reclaiming the world's second place.

On Tuesday, Nvidia closed down 5.5%, a decline significantly greater than other major tech stocks, making it a key factor dragging down the tech sector's performance. During intraday trading on Tuesday, Microsoft's market capitalization briefly surpassed Nvidia, making it the world's second largest publicly traded company by market value. However, after Anthropic released its office suite, Microsoft's losses widened, causing it to fall behind Nvidia once again.
