The Dow Jones Industrial Average held most of its midday gains in the afternoon session Wednesday as an inflation report showed price gains were in line with estimates. Meanwhile, a company backed by artificial intelligence giant Nvidia took a dive in the stock market today.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ( ^DJI 0.59%) is making its second major change in 2024. Earlier this year, Amazon ( AMZN -0.89%) replaced Walgreens Boots Alliance. Now, Nvidia ( NVDA -0.84%) is swapping with Intel, and Sherwin-Williams is replacing chemical giant Dow.

The change, starting next Friday, lifts a dominant player in artificial intelligence over its chip-making rival, which has struggled to keep up.
