By Noel Randewich (Reuters) -Wall Street stocks ended lower on Monday as investors parsed the outlook for U.S. interest rates and looked ahead to AI chipmaker Nvidia's quarterly earnings this week while digesting a rally on Friday that lifted the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a record high close.

Stocks closed lower on Wall Street after a big jump last week on hopes for interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 fell 0.4% Monday.

Rishi Jaluria of RBC Capital Management, a subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada, has a $45 price target on Palantir's stock. So the stock still needs to tumble about 70% more to reach his price target. That's a long way to fall for a proven AI leader, but is that a legitimate price target?
