NVIDIA Reclaims $3 Trillion: ETFs to Bet On
Amid the latest rally brought in by trade talks optimism, NVIDIA NVDA reclaimed $3 trillion in its market cap by surging 50% from its April low. A strategic partnership with a state-backed Saudi Arabian AI company also drove the stock higher. Investors seeking to capitalize on the growth story could consider investing in ETFs with the largest allocation to the AI chipmaker. These include Strive U.S. Semiconductor ETF SHOC, VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF SMH, VanEck Fabless Semiconductor ETF SMHX, YieldMax Target 12 Semiconductor Option Income ETF SOXY and Columbia Semiconductor and Technology ETF SEMI.
The United States and China have agreed to substantially roll back tariffs on each other's goods for an initial 90-day period. Under the agreement, the United States will reduce tariffs on Chinese goods from 145% to 30%, while China will lower its tariffs on American imports from 125% to 10%. This development alleviated investor concerns about escalating trade tensions and their potential impact on technology companies like NVIDIA (read: Tap Mag-7 ETFs on Temporary US-China Trade Truce).
The two firms revealed plans to build next-generation AI infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. The agreement, unveiled as President Trump began a four-day tour of the Middle East, involves NVIDIA supplying several hundred thousand advanced GPUs over the next five years to an AI subsidiary of Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund. The partnership will begin with the deployment of a supercomputer powered by 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 chips.
In a major policy shift, reports indicate that the Trump administration is considering lifting export restrictions on AI chips to the UAE — a move that could authorize shipments of over one million NVIDIA units. The development will significantly broaden the AI chipmaker's market reach and help reduce exposure to regions impacted by U.S.-China tensions, positioning the company for sustained international growth (read: AI ETFs Set to Gain on Robust Meta, Microsoft Earnings).
Although NVIDIA is down nearly 3% in 2025, its recent gains point to a potential turnaround. The stock is currently trading at a P/E ratio of 8.67, in line with the Semiconductor - General industry. Analysts remain optimistic about the chipmaker's growth prospects, citing strong demand for AI chips and strategic international partnerships. Further, the stock is currently trading at a PEG ratio of 1.16, much lower than the industry average of 2.21. The lower the PEG ratio, the better the value, as investors would pay less for each unit of earnings.

Gold retreats from near four-week peak as dollar ticks up
Gold prices fell on Tuesday, retreating from near a four-week high, as a modest rise in the dollar weighed on the metal, although uncertainty over the U.S.-China trade agreement kept investors cautious and limited the bullion's decline. Spot gold fell 0.3% to $3,369.98 an ounce, as of 0249 GMT, after hitting its highest level since May 8 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures were steady at $3,390. The metal gained about 2.7% in the previous session, marking its strongest daily performance in more than three weeks. "Dollar recovered slightly and gold came down so it has been inversely correlated at this point of time," said Brian Lan, managing director at GoldSilver Central, Singapore. However, gold is still closely tracking developments around global trade, and while investors have slightly reduced their positions in gold it is not to the extent seen in previous instances when tensions appeared to ease, said Lan. The U.S. dollar index recovered slightly from a six-week low. U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will likely speak this week, White House said on Monday, days after Trump accused China of violating an agreement to roll back tariffs and trade restrictions. U.S. tariffs on imported steel and aluminum are scheduled to double to 50% starting on Wednesday, coinciding with the Trump administration's deadline for countries to submit their best offers in trade negotiations. The European Commission said on Monday it would make a strong case this week for the U.S. to reduce or eliminate tariffs despite Trump's decision to double import duties on steel and aluminum. Meanwhile, Russia told Ukraine at peace talks on Monday that it would only agree to end the war if Kyiv gives up big new chunks of territory and accepts limits on the size of its army, according to a memorandum reported by Russian media. Elsewhere, spot silver fell 2.1% to $34.07 an ounce, platinum was steady at $1,062.46 and palladium was up 0.1% at $990.26.

Commerce Secretary Lutnick outlines fast pace for U.S.-India trade talks under Trump's tariff approach
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, speaking at the 2025 U.S.-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), outlined the future of U.S.-India trade ties, urging deeper economic cooperation in line with President Trump's tariff-driven push. "Earlier countries get a better deal. That's the way it is," Lutnick remarked during his keynote address at the USISPF on Monday in Washington D.C. "Those who come in, you know, July 4th to July 9th, there's just going to be a pile. But those who are earlier—and I think India's trying hard to be one of the earlier countries, which I appreciate." The commerce secretary acknowledged the unusually rapid timeline the administration is pursuing in contrast to traditional multi-year negotiations. "These kinds of deals used to take 2 or 3 years, and we're trying to get them done in a month, which is, you know, just not the ordinary DNA of trading relationships between countries," he said. India Has Been Open To Mkaing Big Trade Progress, Kevin Hassett Says Lutnick argued that the administration is not advocating for sweeping concessions from India, but "reasonable access to the markets of India." Read On The Fox Business App "We would like our businesses to have reasonable access to the markets of India," he said. "Now, it's not going to be everything and it's not going to be everywhere. But we want to have the trade deficit reduced." "Now in exchange for that, what India is going to want is they're going to get certain key markets that they are going to want to make sure that they have special access to the American marketplace," he said. "And so that's the tradeoff." He said that ongoing talks between India and the U.S. are in a "very good place." "We've managed, I think, to be in a very, very good place, and you should expect a deal between the United States and India in the not-too-distant future, because I think we found a place that really works for both countries," he said. In a Monday evening TruthSocial post, Trump doubled down on his core trade doctrine: "If other Countries are allowed to use Tariffs against us, and we're not allowed to counter them, quickly and nimbly, with Tariffs against them, our Country doesn't have, even a small chance, of Economic survival." President Trump, India's Modi To Tackle Trade, Tariff Tensions At High-stakes Meeting In April, Trump imposed a 27% reciprocal tariff on most Indian exports to pressure India into lowering its tariffs. While strategic sectors like pharmaceuticals were exempt, industries such as textiles and machinery were affected.

Tulsa's 1st Black Mayor Proposes Reparations Plan For Descendants Of Race Massacre, But Will It Work In Trump's America?
Source: UCG / Getty Tulsa, Oklahoma's first Black mayor has proposed a reparations plan (of sorts) for the descendants of one of the most notorious and horrific race massacres in America's history, but can such a proposal come to fruition in a state that has, multiple times, denied reparations to the actual survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre? According to the Associated Press, the reparations proposal, which Mayor Monroe Nichols won't even officially call a reparations plan due to how politically polarizing the term is, wouldn't provide direct payments to citizens. Instead, Nichols characterized his proposal as one that would put the Tulsa community on the 'road to repair' by creating a private charitable trust with a goal to secure $105 million in assets, including $60 million 'to go toward improving buildings and revitalizing the city's north side,' AP reported. The mayor said his plan wouldn't require city council approval, but the city council would have to approve the transfer of any city-owned assets to the trust. 'For 104 years, the Tulsa Race Massacre has been a stain on our city's history,' Nichols said Sunday, announcing the proposal to an audience of several hundred people at the Greenwood Cultural Center, which is located in a district of North Tulsa that was decimated by the white mob in 1921. 'The massacre was hidden from history books, only to be followed by the intentional acts of redlining, a highway built to choke off economic vitality and the perpetual underinvestment of local, state and federal governments.' 'Now it's time to take the next big steps to restore,' he declared. 'The Greenwood District at its height was a center of commerce,' Nichols told AP. 'So what was lost was not just something from North Tulsa or the Black community. It actually robbed Tulsa of an economic future that would have rivaled anywhere else in the world.' Nichols, who signed an executive order earlier this year recognizing June 1 as Tulsa Race Massacre Observance Day, acknowledged that a major hurdle that could get in the way of his plan is the war on all things diversity, equity and inclusion waged by the administration of President Donald Trump. 'The fact that this lines up with a broader national conversation is a tough environment, but it doesn't change the work we have to do,' he said. Source: UCG / Getty Of course, Nichols would be right to be wary about Trump's overreaching administration medling in his city's affairs over nonsensical (and racist as hell) DEI concerns. This is, after all, the same administration that recently ended a wastewater settlement for a mostly Black Alabama town, falsely calling it 'environmental justice as viewed through a distorting, DEI lens,' simply because environmental racism was addressed in the reaching of the settlement. Even more recently, Trump expressed his intention to end a Biden-era program to expand high-speed internet to underserved communities, including rural areas, falsely claiming it provides 'woke handouts based on race,' despite the fact that poor people from rural communites could absolutely be of any race (and would also include a significant portion of his MAGA cultists). But if Nichols is worried about Trump putting the kibosh on his proposal, he should be doubly worried about what his own state government might do. Last year, the Oklahoma Supreme Court sided with lower courts in dismissing a lawsuit or reparations filed by 110-year-olds Viola Ford Fletcher and Lessie Benningfield Randle, the two remaining survivors of the massacre. Here's what I wrote about that previously: None of it is terribly surprising, of course. The same year the lawsuit seeking reparations was filed, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law another Republican white fragility bill prohibiting teachings in K-12 schools that include Critical Race Theory, a college-level academic framework that is not taught in K-12 schools, as well as any other race-based curriculum that causes 'discomfort, guilt, anguish or psychological distress' to (white) students. (Oklahoma wants to be Florida so bad.) Then, in 2022, Stitt called for an investigation into Tulsa Public Schools after claims that the school district violated the state's anti-CRT law, which was denounced by both the Oklahoma City Public Schools Board of Education and the Tulsa Race Massacre Centennial Commission, of which Stitt had the caucasity to be a member of until he was booted from the commission for signing the law that would certainly whitewash the manner in which the Tulsa massacre could be taught—in Tulsa. So yeah — good luck to Mayor Nichols, and we hope his bare-minimum proposal becomes a reality in Tulsa, but he might be fighting an uphill battle in a state that, much like the current federal government, will always prioritize white nationalism, white supremacy and white people's eternally fragile feelings over racial justice.
