Stock Movers: Nvidia, AMD, General Motors, Cannabis

Bloomberg2 days ago
On this edition of Stock Movers: - Nvidia (NVDA) shares are down right now while Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) shares are gaining. Both chip companies have agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese AI chip sales to the US government in an unusual deal that threatens to set a precedent for American companies doing business in the Asian nation. Meantime, President Donald Trump signaled on Monday that he'd be open to allowing Nvidia Corp. to sell a scaled-back version of its most advanced AI chip to China. Trump said he would consider a deal that would allow Nvidia to ship its Blackwell chips to China if the company could design it to be less advanced. 'It's possible I'd make a deal' on a 'somewhat enhanced — in a negative way — Blackwell' processor, he said in a briefing with reporters. 'In other words, take 30% to 50% off of it.' - General Motors (GM) shares are rising after the company is seeking to lure back some former employees of its defunct Cruise autonomous-vehicle business as part of a renewed push to develop a new driverless car, according to people familiar with the matter. This time around, the project would be focused on autonomous cars for personal use, rather than a robotaxi service, these people said. The first step is development of hands-free, eyes-free driving with a human in the vehicle, with the ultimate goal being a car that can drive with no one at the wheel, they said. - Shares of cannabis-linked companies rallied on Monday after President Donald Trump said he was considering reclassifying marijuana as a less dangerous drug — giving the sector a much needed boost. The stock of greenhouse production firm Village Farms International Inc. surged as much as 42% on Monday, its biggest intraday jump since June 2017. Tilray Brands Inc., Canopy Growth Corp., Aurora Cannabis Inc., SNDL Inc. and Cronos Group Inc. all climbed by double digits.

Goldman economist, uncowed by Trump attack, plans to 'keep doing' as before

(Reuters) -A top economist for Goldman Sachs on Wednesday signaled no plans to change how his team conducts and publishes its research after President Donald Trump lashed out at the Wall Street firm and its chief executive because of the research team's estimate that American consumers would bear the brunt of the costs of Trump's tariffs. Chief U.S. Economist David Mericle's defense of his team's work came a day after Trump in a social media post said Goldman Chief Executive David Solomon should "not bother running a major financial institution" and lambasted the bank's economics research. The report Trump attacked, published August 10, estimated that U.S. consumers so far have borne less than a quarter of the cost of Trump's tariffs but that share would rise to two-thirds if the tariffs play out in the same way they had previously. Trump, by contrast, insists that foreign companies and governments are absorbing the cost of tariffs that now average the highest in about a century, and that American households are unscathed. He attacked Goldman and its economists for making "a bad prediction." Asked in a CNBC interview whether Trump's broadside had had a chilling effect on his team's work, Mericle said: "We're just trying to do the best economic forecast that we can for our clients, and we publish research reports like the one that we published over the weekend to inform those views. And we'll keep doing that."
