The US100 contract returned to dynamic gains following Nvidia’s (NVDA.US) solid results, which demonstrate that demand for AI remains strong. The company eased concerns about margin declines and presented promising revenue forecasts despite expected sales losses in China.
The earnings report also featured geopolitical highlights. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang praised the US president for his “bold vision” to rebuild American industry, while appealing for lower export controls on AI chips to China. Huang argued that AI development in China is inevitable, and deliberately reducing Nvidia’s exposure to the Chinese market could undermine the US’s existing leadership in the technology sector.
Nvidia’s results, compared to a ruling blocking part of the tariffs introduced by Trump, are generating optimism for semiconductor companies worldwide. The sector leads gains primarily on the Hong Kong stock exchange, while in Europe, companies like ASML (+3%) stand out.
