Nvidia CEO says next chip after H20 for China won't be from Hopper series
Nvidia is evaluating how to address the China market after the U.S. government placed limits on sales of its Hopper H20 chip there but will not put out another version from the Hopper series, CEO Jensen Huang said on Saturday.
Asked what their next chip for China after the H20 was, he said: 'It's not Hopper because it's not possible to modify Hopper anymore,' Huang said, according to a livestream posted by Taiwan's Formosa TV News network.
Huang, who has consistently said China is critical to Nvidia's growth, made a visit to China immediately after the U.S. placed new restrictions on China-bound shipments of its H20 chips, the only AI chip the company can sell legally in China.
Reuters reported earlier this month that Nvidia plans to release a downgraded version of the H20 chip for China in the next two months, as it seeks to prop up sales in the country, where it has lost market share to domestic rivals such as Huawei.
The U.S. Framework for Artificial Intelligence Diffusion, issued in January just a week before the end of former President Joe Biden's administration, aimed to limit AI chip exports to most countries.
Huang also said that previous AI export regulations were wrong and should have been focused on maximising U.S. technology globally.
Trump has said he will cancel the AI diffusion rules that were introduced by the Biden administration.
China generated $17 billion in revenue for Nvidia in the fiscal year ending January 26, accounting for 13% of the company's total sales.

Canadian dollar gains as increased defense spending fuels trade deal hopes
Canadian dollar gains 0.1% against the greenback Trades in a range of 1.3670 to 1.3707 Canada vows to hit NATO miiltary spending target this year Canada-U.S. 10-year spread narrows by 3.3 basis points TORONTO, June 9 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar edged higher against its U.S. counterpart on Monday as Canada said it would pour extra billions into its armed forces, a move that some analysts say could ease the path to a trade deal with the United States. The loonie was trading 0.1% higher at 1.3675 per U.S. dollar, or 73.13 U.S. cents, after trading in a range of 1.3670 to 1.3707. Last Thursday, the currency touched a near eight-month high at 1.3632. "I see an abundance of signs that the U.S. and Canada are on the verge of making a trade deal," said Adam Button, chief currency analyst at ForexLive. "The news today is that Canada is going to meet its NATO target and I don't think it's a coincidence that that is one of the things that the U.S. is asking for." Canada's Liberal government will hit NATO's military spending target of 2% of GDP this fiscal year, five years earlier than promised, Prime Minister Mark Carney said. Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump are in direct communication as part of Ottawa's bid to persuade Washington to lift tariffs, Industry Minister Melanie Joly said last Thursday. "We get a trade deal, we get more military spending, the jobs report wasn't terrible - we might be closer to the end of the rate cutting cycle than was thought," Button said. Investors see a roughly 75% chance the Bank of Canada remains on hold at its next interest rate decision on July 30, up from 67% before stronger-than-expected domestic jobs data on Friday. The U.S. dollar fell against a basket of major currencies, while the price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, settled 1.1% higher at $65.29 a barrel. Canadian bond yields were mixed across a steeper curve as investors worried that increased spending on defense could raise government borrowing. The 10-year was up nearly one basis points at 3.349%, while the gap between it and the equivalent U.S. rate narrowed by 3.3 basis points to about 114 basis points in favor of the U.S. note.

US Pizza Chain Little Caesars Eyes India Expansion With New Stores
New Delhi: U.S. pizza chain Little Caesars is planning to open dozens of stores in India over the coming years aiming to capitalise on the country's robust economic growth, an executive told Reuters. Little Caesars will open its first Indian store in the Delhi NCR region this month. "India is on a growth trajectory ... We don't want to miss this wave," said Carlos Vidal, vice president of international development at the privately held Little Caesars. India's economy is projected to grow at 6.5 per centfor fiscal 2026, maintaining its position as the fastest-growing major economy, according to the International Monetary Fund. Founded in 1959, Little Caesars is the third largest pizza chain in the world, with a presence in more than 29 countries. The Indian pizza market is fiercely competitive, with established players like Domino's Pizza and Yum Brands' Pizza Hut, alongside local chains such as La Pino'z and numerous independent shops. India has proven a challenging market for other major pizza chains. Papa John's, for instance, exited in 2017 due to fierce competition and operational challenges, though it now plans to re-enter the market in 2025. A 100 Little Caesars stores in India by decade-end is a realistic target, Vidal said, adding the brand is "thinking about hundreds and eventually thousands of stores over time." Little Caesars is customizing its menu with vegetarian pizzas to cater to the country's significantly large vegetarian population. It will also introduce flavored crusts-a first for the brand-as plain crusts are often left uneaten by Indian consumers. In addition to India, Little Caesars plans to also focus on Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, the United Arab Emirates and Brazil over the next few years with a view to opening more new stores outside the United States.
