Nvidia Chief Sounds Alarm Over China's AI Surge Amid U.S. Export Controls
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has issued a stark warning that U.S. export restrictions on advanced semiconductors are inadvertently accelerating China's progress in artificial intelligence , potentially undermining America's technological leadership. Huang contends that the sanctions, intended to curb China's access to cutting-edge AI chips, have instead galvanized Chinese firms to develop domestic alternatives. 'The Chinese competitors have evolved,' Huang remarked, highlighting Huawei's rapid advancements. He emphasized that companies like Tencent are significantly enhancing their capabilities annually, indicating a swift narrowing of the technological gap. The U.S. government's export controls, initiated in October 2022, aimed to limit China's access to advanced computing and semiconductor manufacturing items, citing national security concerns. These measures have restricted Nvidia from selling its high-performance AI chips, such as the Hopper series, to Chinese firms. Consequently, Nvidia anticipates an $8 billion revenue loss in the current quarter due to the curbs, following a $4.5 billion charge in the previous quarter. ADVERTISEMENT Despite these setbacks, Nvidia reported a 69% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching $44.1 billion in the first quarter. This surge is attributed to global demand for AI infrastructure, with significant growth observed in markets like the Middle East and Taiwan. However, the loss of the Chinese market, previously accounting for a substantial portion of Nvidia's sales, poses a significant challenge. Huang criticized the underlying assumption of U.S. policy that China lacks the capability to produce advanced AI chips. 'That assumption was always questionable, and now it's clearly wrong,' he stated, noting that China's AI ecosystem is rapidly maturing. He warned that shielding Chinese chipmakers from U.S. competition only strengthens them abroad and weakens America's position. The impact of U.S. sanctions has been profound. Nvidia's market share in China has plummeted from 95% before 2022 to 50% currently. In response, the company is developing a variant of its Blackwell AI chip tailored for the Chinese market, aiming to comply with export regulations while maintaining a presence in the region. Chinese companies have seized the opportunity to fill the void left by U.S. firms. Huawei, for instance, has made significant strides in AI hardware, reportedly outperforming Nvidia in certain benchmarks despite using less sophisticated chips. Similarly, Cambricon Technologies has experienced a resurgence, achieving its first-ever quarterly profit and seeing a 383% rise in shares in 2024, driven by increased domestic demand for AI processors. The broader implications of these developments are significant. China's 'Made in China 2025' initiative, aimed at achieving self-sufficiency in key technologies, has gained momentum. The country has achieved global leadership in several sectors, including electric vehicles and solar panels, and is rapidly closing the gap in others.

Wall Street futures climb as federal court rules against Trump's tariffs
Wall Street futures climbed on Thursday after a U.S. trade court blocked most of President Donald Trump's proposed tariffs, while AI bellwether Nvidia's stronger-than-expected quarterly revenue added to the upbeat mood. Nvidia jumped over 6% in premarket trading after reporting 69% quarterly sales growth, driven by customers stockpiling AI chips ahead of U.S. export restrictions to China. The company, however, warned that the new curbs are expected to cut $8 billion from current-quarter sales. Other chipmakers rose in the wake of Nvidia's results, with Advanced Micro Devices gaining 3%. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF advanced 3.2%. Global risk appetite was also buoyed after a U.S. court invalidated with immediate effect most of Trump's sweeping levies imposed since January, but did not address some industry-specific tariffs on automobiles, steel and aluminum. "This ruling is a key development, and it will weaken Trump's bargaining power in his ongoing negotiations with the U.S.' key trading partners," National Bank of Kuwait analysts said in a note. "If the ruling is sustained, it will be a major positive development for the U.S. and the global economy." However, the decision can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., and potentially to the U.S. Supreme Court. At 7:06 a.m. ET, Dow E-minis were up 205 points, or 0.49%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 64.25 points, or 1.09%. Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 345.5 points, or 1.62%. Futures linked to the economically-sensitive Russell 2000 small-cap index also ticked up 1.07%. Apple, which was hit with a threat of tariffs from Trump last week, led gains among megacap and growth stocks with a 2.4% jump. Meta Platforms rose 1.5%, while shares of Alphabet added 1.3%. The S&P 500 is currently about 4% below an all-time high touched on February 19, having rebounded from a nearly 19% decline earlier in April, supported by easing trade tensions, strong earnings, and subdued inflation data that boosted risk appetite. May has been a solid month for equities, with both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq on pace for their best monthly performances since November 2023. Minutes from the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting, released on Wednesday, indicated that policymakers acknowledged they could face "difficult tradeoffs" in coming months in the form of rising inflation alongside rising unemployment. Later in the day, the second estimate for first-quarter GDP will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET and Personal Consumption Expenditure data is slated for Friday. At least five Fed policymakers including Fed Board Governor Adriana Kugler are scheduled to make public remarks through the day. In other earnings, HP Inc shed nearly 9% after the PC maker cut its annual profit forecast. Best Buy dropped nearly 3% after the electronics retailer lowered its annual sales forecast.
