Keep an eye on Iran though.
U.S. bans export of more AI chips, including Nvidia H800, to China (cnbc.com)Spoony Love said:
Oof, pre-market saw what I said and went the other way. I wish I had that much power
This caused the big drop in the futures when it hit the tape.Quote:
The U.S. Department of Commerce announced Tuesday that it plans to prevent the sale of more advanced artificial intelligence chips to China in the coming weeks.
The U.S. government says the new rules are intended to close loopholes that popped up after last year's restrictions on AI chip exports went into effect.
Shares of chip stocks took a leg lower in premarket trading on the news. Nvidia
was down about 3.5% while Broadcom
, Marvell
and AMD
slipped about 2%. Intel
and Broadcom
fell about 1.5%.
Those earlier restrictions banned the sale of the Nvidia H100, which is the processor of choice for AI firms in the U.S. such as OpenAI. Instead, Chinese companies were able to buy a slightly slowed-down version called the H800 or A800 that complies with U.S. restrictions, primarily by slowing down an on-device connection speed, called an interconnect.
The new rules will ban those chips as well, senior administration officials said in a briefing with reporters.
The restrictions could also affect chips sold by Intel
and AMD
. Other rules will likely hamper the sale and export to China of semiconductor manufacturing equipment from companies such as Applied Materials
, Lam and KLA.
The restrictions cut off a big and growing market for AI semiconductors, and could raise concerns that the Chinese government will retaliate economically against U.S. firms doing business in the country.
$275 for SMCI would be a good re-entry point for anyone that traded it.Spoony Love said:

I would like it at $70-75 but not sure it's going to get there. I hate chasing a stock but will buy before their earnings regardless of where it is.South Platte said:Do you have an entry point into POWL yet?ProgN said:$275 for SMCI would be a good re-entry point for anyone that traded it.Spoony Love said:

Looking promising, but today is still an indecision candle (wick on both sides).TxAgLaw03RW said:
Do we officially have a reversal brewing yet?
you're just now realizing that?!?! (kidding) and you're not a conspiracy theorist if it's true, right???Spoony Love said:
Really. Charts like today make my conspiracy theorist character shine through on the market being rigged. Teasing the gap fill closer and closer is ridiculous.
That was part of it but there was other good things that he said. I'll try to find it later. Thanks though.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I was going to buy nvda at 425 and didn't. I'm stupid.
IIRC, NVDA makes all their chips in Taiwan. The exact chips that China isn't allowed to buy due to restrictions from our government. If China takes Taiwan, then they will own NVDA.joekm3 said:
At what point should we get back into NVDA given the global concerns?
