‘Time to Strike,' Says Investor About Nvidia Stock
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) has faced a challenging landscape in 2025, navigating a mix of uncertainties. Export restrictions have complicated its business in China, and broader concerns about the pace of capex investments by hyperscalers have added a layer of caution to the growth narrative that once seemed unstoppable.

Still, not everyone is hitting the panic button. Despite a nearly 15% year-to-date slide, investor Bohdan Kucheriavyi argues that the risks are overblown – and there are blue skies aplenty for Nvidia up ahead.
'I'm still confident in the company's ability to create additional shareholder value over the following years,' asserts the 5-star investor.
That's not to say that Kucheriavyi is dismissive of the very real risks of decreasing capex spending by the hyperscalers – far from it. The investor notes the recent reports that Microsoft and Amazon have been walking away from data center leases, a move that could signal cooling demand for Nvidia's chips. But in the same breath, he highlights evidence pointing in the opposite direction: AI spending among hyperscalers is still on track to hit $300 billion this year. Strong results from TSMC and even AI momentum at beleaguered Intel hint that the appetite for AI infrastructure isn't fading.
Meanwhile, Nvidia is actively adapting to geopolitical headwinds. The company is shifting key production of its next-gen Blackwell chips to TSMC's Arizona facility. By localizing production, Nvidia aims to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions, such as potential tariffs and export restrictions, and to better meet the growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers.
'This should help the company be less exposed to any geopolitical and tariff-related risks, which is a major upside in the current environment,' adds Kucheriavyi.
The investor also acknowledges the added difficulties the company will face in the Chinese market in the years ahead, as trade restrictions will give domestic competitors such as Huawei a pronounced leg up over the American firm.
Even so, a 10% sales hit tied to China-related disruptions hasn't shaken his conviction. In his view, Nvidia remains undervalued – and the long-term upside is still very much intact.
'Nvidia's upside remains significant, even if we take into account the loss of China-related revenues this year,' concludes Kucheriavyi, who rates NVDA stock a Buy. (To watch Kucheriavyi's track record, click here)
Wall Street needs no additional convincing. With 34 Buys, 5 Holds and a single Sell, NVDA enjoys a Strong Buy consensus rating. Its 12-month average price target of $164.23 implies a ~43% upside for the year ahead. (See NVDA stock forecast)

Tesla Stock Dips to Buy Zone—Robotaxi Catalyst Ahead?
Those who invest in shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) know that they are signed up for one of the wildest roller coaster rides in the stock market today, not only because the stock has been historically volatile but also because the company's CEO, Elon Musk, is starting to get involved in other areas that could potentially turn his attention away from what needs to be done to secure Tesla's leadership and future. [content-module:CompanyOverview|NASDAQ:TSLA] As most are aware, Musk has resigned from his role in a special government agency called the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE, for short). While the intentions were good regarding the type of work this agency was to accomplish, disagreements between Musk and President Trump have driven two opposing views to a volatile week in Tesla stock, leaving some shareholders to incur losses as collateral damage. Seasoned Wall Street participants would see the recent panic as an opportunity in the technology sector, especially for shareholders eyeing lower prices. For Tesla, however, this is where the charts become particularly useful. This is important, especially when viewed through an auction lens, because there is an obvious price that Tesla could reach before providing an optimal entry point. Gaming: The Future of Tesla Now that Musk can focus his energy on Tesla's development, one clear objective will be fulfilled in the coming months and quarters. The race to make the robotaxi dream a reality should return to the CEO's forefront, especially as new competition has entered the scene. Waymo, an autonomous driving platform owned by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), has already made significant progress in this space, averaging up to 250,000 rides per week. Whether it is due to technological superiority, market share, or sheer adoption from end users, Tesla now has a lot of ground to make up in this regard. This is one positive catalyst investors can look forward to today, especially as Musk is set to come back to the ground floor at Tesla. With this in mind, investors should still command a price for the stock that prices out most (if not all) of the potential downside that could arise from this current political feud. With a robotaxi announcement expected in the coming weeks of June 2025, it is high time for investors to strategize their positioning in the stock before the information spreads out more quickly than they can react to it. For this reason, the following technical level should also be kept in mind. Where Tesla Can Be Bought Examining the one-year chart for Tesla, investors can identify a significant inefficiency. During late April 2025, the price jumped aggressively from $259 per share to $288 per share in a matter of hours, creating a pattern that some would call a buy-side imbalance, where the auction left little to no time for investors to enter and chase the upward momentum in price. On a psychological level, this means there are still bulls waiting on the sidelines for this price, making it a mental and emotional anchor for buy orders to be executed again. In fact, the $270 mark represented solid support due to this development, where impatient buyers couldn't wait to retest the lower end of the breakout and had to get in. After falling by roughly 15% in one week, the $270 area acted as a backstop for further selling, accurately fulfilling this technical and psychological setup. Therefore, those looking to buy have two choices from today's $295 per share price. One option is to make room for the price to move up toward the $310 mark again, where the opposite pattern formed. On the way down, numerous sell-side inefficiencies formed, as a fast auction didn't allow sellers to exit and cut their losses. Given the uncertainty, it wouldn't be too far from reality to expect these beaten-down bulls to revisit that price before letting go of their shares. [content-module:TradingView|NASDAQ:TSLA] So now investors can watch the reaction in Tesla's price in this range; if it continues to act as 'resistance,' then they can rest assured that the lower price area near $270 will be tested again. At this point, they will have another incentive to open new positions on the long side. Here's a good sign that supports this view: up to $20 billion of institutional buying took place over the recent quarter for Tesla stock, a period that overlaps with this inefficiency, with the stock reaching the $270 mark, indicating a footprint of institutional liquidity advantages being taken. The map is laid out, and at 60% of its 52-week high, Tesla stock offers new investors a great risk-to-reward ratio moving forward, especially with a new $500 per share price target set by Dan Ives, an analyst from Wedbush Securities as of early June 2025. In his view, Tesla promises a rally of up to 70% from its current level. Where Should You Invest $1,000 Right Now? Before you make your next trade, you'll want to hear this.

World Bank lowers global growth forecast, citing trade war ‘turbulence'
U.S. President Donald Trump's trade wars are expected to slash economic growth this year in the United States and around the world, the World Bank forecast Tuesday. Citing 'a substantial rise in trade barriers'' but without mentioning Trump by name, the 189-country lender predicted that the U.S. economy – the world's largest – would grow half as fast (1.4 per cent) this year as it did in 2024 (2.8 per cent). That marked a downgrade from the 2.3 per cent U.S. growth it had forecast back for 2025 back in January. The bank also lopped 0.4 percentage points off its forecast for global growth this year. It now expects the world economy to expand just 2.3 per cent in 2025, down from 2.8 per cent in 2024. In a forward to the latest version of the twice-yearly Global Economic Prospects report, World Bank chief economist Indermit Gill wrote that the global economy has missed its chance for the 'soft landing'' — slowing enough to tame inflation without generating serious pain — it appeared headed for just six months ago. Story continues below advertisement 'The world economy today is once more running into turbulence,' Gill wrote. 'Without a swift course correction, the harm to living standards could be deep.''

Sign up for daily National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy America's economic prospects have been clouded by Trump's erratic and aggressive trade policies, including 10 per cent taxes — tariffs — on imports from almost every country in the world. These levies drive up costs in the U.S. and invite retaliation from other countries. 1:46 Can the Liberal government's trade bill unify Canada's economy? The Chinese economy is forecast to see growth slow from five per cent in 2024 to 4.5 per cent this year and four per cent next. The world's second-largest economy has been hobbled by the tariffs that Trump has imposed on its exports, by the collapse of its real estate market and by an aging workforce. The World Bank expects the 20 European countries that share the euro currency to collectively grow just 0.7 per cent this year, down from an already lackluster 0.9 per cent in 2024. Story continues below advertisement Trump's tariffs are expected to hurt European exports. And the unpredictable way he rolls them out — announcing them, suspending them, coming up with new ones — has created uncertainty that discourages business investment. India is once again expected to the be world's fastest-growing major economy, expanding at a 6.3 per cent clip this year. But that's down from 6.5 per cent in 2024 and from the 6.7 per cent the bank had forecast for 2025 in January. In Japan, economic growth is expected to accelerate this year – but only from 0.2 per cent in 2024 to a sluggish 0.7 per cent this year, well short of the 1.2 per cent the World Bank had forecast in January. The World Bank seeks to reduce poverty and boost living standards by providing grants and low-rate loans to poor economies. Another multinational organization that seeks to promote global prosperity — the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development — last week downgraded its forecast for the U.S. and global economies.

Global economy on track for worst decade since 1960s, World Bank warns

(Hector Retamal/AFP/Getty Images via CNN Newsource) Global economic growth is on track for its weakest decade since the 1960s, according to a new analysis by the World Bank, which cites U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war as a major factor weighing on economies worldwide. The World Bank expects Trump's barrage of new tariffs on America's trading partners to whittle down global economic growth to its lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis when discounting worldwide recessions, according to a report released Tuesday. While the Washington, D.C.-based institution does not expect another global recession due to the tariffs, it said in a press release that — should its projections for global growth come to pass this year and next — 'average global growth in the first seven years of the 2020s will be the slowest of any decade since the 1960s.' In its report, the World Bank downgraded its expectation for global GDP growth this year to 2.3% from the 2.7% it had forecast in January. That's based on the assumption that tariffs worldwide will remain at their late-May levels. That puts the world economy on course for its weakest pace of growth in 17 years, excluding two global recessions — the first in 2009, following the financial crisis; and the second in 2020, the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. Those years saw global economic growth contract by 1.3% and 2.9%, respectively, according to World Bank data. 'The sharp increase in tariffs and the ensuing uncertainty are contributing to a broad-based growth slowdown and deteriorating prospects in most of the world's economies,' the institution said in the report. It added that the 'turmoil' unleashed by 'heightened trade tensions' had prompted it to cut its growth forecasts for almost 70% of economies worldwide — across all regions and income groups. The anticipated slowdown in developing economies will also be influenced by long-running trends such as ballooning government debt levels, the institution noted. Fitch Ratings said Tuesday that it had downgraded its outlook for global government bonds this year from a 'neutral' status to 'deteriorating,' citing the impact of tariff hikes and trade policy uncertainty. 'The escalation in the global trade war, uncertainty over the endpoint for tariffs and their impact on global trade volumes, supply chains, investment and international relations is a significant adverse global economic shock,' the credit rating agency said in a report. Since retaking office in January, Trump has hiked import duties on most of America's trading partners and on key goods, including cars and steel. A round of punishingly high 'reciprocal tariffs' is set to whack many of America's trading partners from July 9 unless they can strike a deal with Washington — and despite the levies hitting a legal stumbling block last month. Fresh trade negotiations between the United States and China kicked off in London on Monday, and continued on Tuesday, with both sides attempting to preserve a fragile truce brokered last month. Despite ongoing talks, the tariffs, their erratic implementation and the unpredictability that both have injected into the global economy, are weighing on many businesses and consumers.
