Nvidia’s staying power is the $2 trillion question

Nvidia is set to report its fiscal fourth-quarter results, which are expected to show revenue of nearly $59 billion for the fiscal year, more than double the previous year. Despite the remarkable rise, there are concerns about the sustainability of this growth and potential risks heading into the quarterly report.

China draws red lines on US chip tracking with Nvidia meeting - The Economic Times

China has summoned Nvidia employees due to concerns about security risks in its H20 chips, challenging US plans to mandate chip-tracking features. Analysts suggest this move serves as a political message rather than a technical issue, aiming to caution domestic firms and influence US policies. Despite the tensions, Nvidia opposes backdoors in its chips, asserting trust in technology. This standoff reflects the broader US-China semiconductor trade and security challenges.

SPDR S&P 500 ETF tops record $500 bln in assets as Nvidia soars

SPDR S&P 500 ETF tops record $500 bln in assets as Nvidia soars

Shares of chipmaker Nvidia have experienced a significant rise, contributing to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust becoming the first ETF to exceed $500 billion in assets. Currently holding around $502 billion in assets, the fund's success is largely attributed to the surge in Nvidia's stock, which has witnessed a nearly 60% increase this year alone. However, experts suggest that this is a result of Nvidia's growth rather than fresh demand for the ETF. The dominance of the SPDR ETF may be facing challenges from competing broad market ETFs offered by BlackRock and Vanguard, which have experienced faster growth in recent years.

Nvidia can’t escape shadow of AI spending fears
