Shares in NVIDIA fell nearly 7% on Housewifes On Call Driver Side Job Day and NightWednesday after the company revealed it would face $5.5 billion in costs due to tighter US export rules to China. The firm, a key player in the AI boom, will need licenses to export its H20 AI chip to China, one of its top markets. The new regulations are part of the ongoing US-China trade war, with both countries imposing high tariffs on each other’s goods. NVIDIA said that the US government informed them last week that a permit would be required to sell the H20 chip to China, including Hong Kong. The US government stated the license requirement would be in effect indefinitely, citing concerns the chip could be used in Chinese supercomputers, according to NVIDIA. [BBC]
