TLDR Nvidia is negotiating with the Trump administration over export licenses for H200 AI chips to Chinese companies, with the U.S. willing to approve ByteDance’s purchase but requiring strict Know-Your-Customer procedures. The stock dropped 1.4% to $177.74 as negotiations remain unresolved, trading below key moving averages at $182-$184 with support at the 200-day moving average near $168. Nvidia states it cannot unilaterally accept license conditions and warns that overly restrictive terms could push Chinese buyers toward non-U.S. chip suppliers. China has granted preliminary approval to ByteDance, Tencent, Alibaba, and Deepseek to import the chips, though final regulatory conditions are still being finalized. The Commerce Department’s January 15 regulation requires third-party lab testing of chips and certification of rigorous customer screening to prevent military access. 💥 Find the Next KnockoutStock!

Nvidia stock closed at $177.74 on February 5, down 1.4% as regulatory uncertainty continues to cloud H200 chip exports to China. The chipmaker remains locked in negotiations with the Trump administration over licensing terms that would allow Chinese tech giants to purchase its advanced AI hardware. NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA The Trump administration indicated about two weeks ago it would approve a license for ByteDance to buy H200 chips. However, Nvidia has not agreed to the proposed conditions, particularly around Know-Your-Customer requirements designed to prevent China’s military from accessing the technology. Nvidia emphasized it acts as an intermediary between U.S. regulators and customers. The company cannot unilaterally accept or reject license conditions. “Although KYC is important, KYC is not the issue,” a Nvidia spokesperson said. “For American industry to make any sales, the conditions need to be commercially pra...

Officials from Nanshan District noted that the region will continue to support AI enterprises through comprehensive policies, including a RMB 3 billion AI fund cluster, the “Model Power Camp” AI ecosystem community, and the “15-minute innovation circle”, helping companies break through core technologies and scale industrialization. The 18th Anniversary Gala served not only as a moment to reflect on SIXUNITED’s growth and express gratitude to partners, but also as a key platform to showcase Nanshan’s AI industry strength and signal the company’s strategic upgrade. Nearly 2,000 attendees, including government representatives from multiple regions, Intel senior executives, the President of the Shenzhen Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, global customers, supply-chain partners, and mainstream media, gathered to witness SIXUNITED’s transformation and explore new paths for collaborative and win-win development in the AI terminal industry. Within this “tropical rainforest-style” innovation environment—where large enterprises anchor the ecosystem, SMEs scale rapidly, and innovative startups pioneer breakthroughs—SIXUNITED has achieved a leap from an industry participant to an ecosystem-driven enterprise. As a core hub for technological innovation and advanced manufacturing in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area, Nanshan District surpassed RMB 1 trillion in GDP in 2025, ranking among China’s leading regions in economic vitality and innovation density. The district is now home to more than 1,000 AI enterprises above designated size and over 200 upstream and downstream ecosystem partners, forming a complete industrial chain spanning algorithms, chips, terminals, and applications. At the event, SIXUNITED formally unveiled its dual strategic targets for 2026: RMB 10 billion in annual revenue and shipments of 15 million AI terminals. Leveraging 18 years of continuous technological evolution, the innovation-driven ecosystem of Nanshan, and deep collaboration ...

Tori Horowitz loved her 2021 Tesla Model S. “It worked for my life because I’m in my car all the time,” says the realtor, who drives weekly from Los Angeles 80 miles north to Ojai, California. “It felt efficient. It was zippy. It was intuitive. It was exactly what I needed.” But she didn’t love the reputation of Tesla co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk, who’s polarized consumers by engaging in public spats with presidents and endorsing an antisemitic post on X , the social media site he owns. In 2024 he was sued for sexual harassment and accused of erratically using ketamine and other drugs . (Musk has denied the accusations of harassment and said that he took ketamine under prescription years ago but not since. He did not respond to a request for additional comment. A representative for Tesla did not respond to multiple requests for comment.) By 2024, Horowitz had traded her Model S for an electric Audi Q4 e-tron . “I was not cool with supporting, or telegraphing supporting, him,” she says. Horowitz is not alone. Customer-experience measurer Creative Strategies cited owner frustration with Musk as a distinct vulnerability for Tesla back in 2022. Research firm Escalent found in a 2021 study of EV owners that Musk was considered among the top drawbacks of the brand . “Tesla would do a lot better if it wasn’t polarizing in that way, on either side,” says Anthony Salerno, senior vice president of automotive analytics at J.D. Power, a global analysis and consumer intelligence firm. Sales results show Tesla Inc. is indeed struggling even as its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings exceeded analysts’ estimates . In 2025, sales declined 9% worldwide. US sales fell 7% from 2024, according to Cox Automotive; in California, its biggest US market, the percentage of Teslas among all newly registered vehicles dropped to under 10% in 2025, down from 11.6% in 2024, according to Experian. But the reasons behind Tesla’s struggles are much more complicated than mere dislike...

Development takes place at the INNOPAP lab within IIT Roorkee’s department of paper and packaging technology. Credit: Sergei Elagin / Shutterstock.com. Amazon and the Indian Institute of Technology (ITT) Roorkee have launched a joint effort to create biodegradable mailers from agricultural residues to address the dual challenges of plastic waste and crop stubble burning in India. The project seeks to repurpose by-products such as wheat straw and sugarcane residue into paper mailers, thus reducing dependence on packaging made from virgin wood pulp. Lasting 15 months, the research will focus on converting these crop residues into sturdy, lightweight paper suitable for use as packaging. The materials developed are intended to be recyclable and compostable at home, offering an alternative to conventional paper and plastic bags. The practice of burning leftover crop residue is a major source of seasonal air pollution in India. By finding a market for this waste, the initiative also aims to provide farmers with additional sources of income and reduce the need to import raw wood pulp.

(RTTNews) - The German market slipped into negative territory Thursday morning, weighed down by losses in defense stocks amid ongoing Ukraine peace talks and expectations that U.S.-Iran talks will yield positive results. Investors also reacted to a slew of earnings updates and regional economic data, while awaiting the European Central Bank's monetary policy announcement due later in the day. The benchmark DAX, which tumbled to 24,434.99, recovered some lost ground and was 108.91 points or 0.44% at 24,543.86 about half an hour before noon. Defense stock Rheinmetall tumbled 8%.

Among the gainers, SAP climbed 3.25% and Deutsche Bank moved up 2.75%. Zalando, GEA Group, Heidelberg Materials and Siemens advanced 0.6%-1%. German factory orders grew the most in two years in December, driven by the surge in large-scale orders, official data revealed Thursday. Factory orders advanced unexpectedly by 7.8% from November, Destatis reported. This was the biggest growth since December 2023 and confounded expectations for a fall of 1.8%. The statistical office revised up November's growth to 5.7% from 5.6%. Germany's construction activity returned to contraction in January after rising for the first time in almost four years in December, survey data from S&P Global showed. The HCOB construction Purchasing Managers' index posted 44.7 in January, down from 50.3 in December. A score below 50.0 indicates contraction. The reading signaled that the sector shrank at the fastest rate in three months.

Key Points Dogecoin is the cryptocurrency industry's original meme token, and it has become known for its extreme volatility. The cryptocurrency plunged by 61% during 2025, giving up all of its gains from 2024. That wasn't the first time Dogecoin faded after a rally, and I think more downside could be on the way. 10 stocks we like better than Dogecoin › Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) is a revolutionary cryptocurrency. In the years that followed its 2009 launch, it attracted hordes of investors who believed it could transform the entire financial system. But in 2013, two friends named Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer felt the crypto industry was suddenly taking itself too seriously, so they launched a meme token called Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) to lighten the mood. By piggybacking off the "Doge" meme that was sweeping the internet at the time, the two friends were able to attract a significant amount of attention to the project. By 2021, Dogecoin had amassed a peak market capitalization of over $90 billion, but it swiftly lost more than 90% of its value in the months that followed. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks » That volatility has been a hallmark of the Dogecoin investing experience. In fact, after having a relatively strong year in 2024, the token plummeted by more than 61% in 2025. Looking ahead, here's where I predict the meme token will end up in 2026. Dogecoin lacks a true use case For a cryptocurrency to generate consistent upside, it needs at least one use case that drives people to constantly buy more of it. Bitcoin, for example, typically experiences high demand from investors who consider it to be a legitimate store of value. Ether (CRYPTO: ETH), on the other hand, is the native cryptocurrency in the Ethereum network, where businesses develop decentralized software applications in areas such as gaming and finance.

Stock futures were mixed Thursday premarket as market participants assessed Alphabet's earnings ahead of Amazon's results after the closing bell. Here are some of Thursday's biggest stock movers: Biggest stock gainers Snap ( SNAP ) +6% - Shares surged after the company delivered strong Q4 operating metrics and issued guidance largely in line with expectations. Daily active users reached 474M, up 21M Y/Y but down 3M sequentially, broadly matching estimates, while ARPU of $3.62 beat the $3.56 consensus. Free cash flow rose 13% to $206M, topping forecasts, and adjusted EBITDA jumped 30% to $358M, well above expectations. Snap attributed the sequential DAU dip partly to a pullback in growth marketing and the removal of ~400,000 accounts in Australia following new age-verification rules. For Q1, Snap guided revenue of $1.50B–$1.53B vs. the consensus of $1.54B, adjusted EBITDA of $170M–$190M, and announced a new $500M share buyback authorization. Celestica ( CLS ) +6% – Shares advanced after the company comfortably beat Street estimates in Q4. Revenue surged 43% Y/Y to $3.65B, topping the $3.49B consensus. Looking ahead, Celestica guided Q1 revenue of $3.85B–$4.15B, with a midpoint of $4.0B surpassing the consensus of $3.62B, and adjusted EPS of $1.95–$2.15, with a midpoint of $2.05 above the consensus of $1.83. The company also raised its full-year 2026 outlook, now expecting revenue of $17.0B and adjusted EPS of $8.75, up from prior guidance of $16.0B and $8.20, citing strong AI-driven data center demand momentum. Biggest stock losers QUALCOMM ( QCOM ) -11% - Shares slid after the chipmaker issued weak Q2 guidance that fell well short of Wall Street expectations. The company sees adjusted EPS of $2.45–$2.65 vs. the $2.90 consensus, with revenue of $10.2B–$11.0B compared with $11.1B expected. Management said the outlook reflects memory supply constraints and related pricing pressures that are weighing on handset demand. CEO Cristiano Amon noted that while near-term hands...

In the $9.6 trillion global currency market, volatility has flickered back in a boon for traders after months of calm. Currencies around the world have been hit with the biggest swings since last April, with the dollar sliding to a four-year low and the euro spiking to a five-year high last week. Now options markets are signaling that the volatility will persist in the months ahead, making a sharp break from the sleepy trading that dominated the second half of 2025. That’s mostly down to unpredictable policymaking, from Donald Trump’s threats to attack Greenland to confusion about the direction for the Federal Reserve, which are hurting confidence in the greenback. The swings are a moneymaker for Wall Street banks that can reap higher transaction costs on volatile prices. Traders think it’s only so long before they’re in for another manic spell. “With President Trump volatility can rise rapidly and tends to reverse the move faster as well,” said Sagar Sambrani , a senior FX options trader at Nomura International Plc in London. “It either goes from a completely stale regime, which we saw for the last six months, to potential mayhem and multiple barriers getting triggered.” There’s certainly been no lack of action. A host of key levels have been breached, with the dollar weakness driving the pound to its highest since 2021 and the Swiss franc to its strongest since 2015. Japan’s yen bucked that trend ahead of a pivotal general election, nearing a four-decade low before swinging wildly. Options bets on big moves in the dollar are now at the highest since April, when Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs rocked global markets. The recent chaos in precious metals has also driven up gauges of future volatility in commodity currencies such as the Australian dollar and Norway’s krone. That’s all fueling a turnaround for interest in trading Group-of-10 currencies. Big companies with foreign-exchange exposure are likely rushing to protect positions. And there’s more activity from ...
