Impact of U.S. Trade Policy on Chip Stocks: Recent U.S. export restrictions on AI processors have led to significant declines in chip stocks, notably Nvidia and AMD, with Nvidia warning of a $5.5 billion loss and AMD facing an $800 million hit due to the curbs affecting their sales in China.
Market Reactions and Future Outlook: The selloff in chip companies has been widespread globally, with analysts noting that despite the challenges, Nvidia's overall sales remain strong due to demand from major cloud customers, although geopolitical uncertainties continue to create volatility in the semiconductor sector.
