Nvidia’s shares dipped slightly this week following statements from CEO Jensen Huang clarifying the company’s proposed $100 billion investment in OpenAI. Speaking in Taipei, Huang stressed that the figure was not a formal commitment, but rather a ceiling for potential funding, which Nvidia would consider on a case-by-case basis. NVIDIA Corporation, NVDA He confirmed that the proposal, initially outlined in a September letter of intent, was designed to support OpenAI’s expansion of AI data centers using Nvidia’s chips. Vendor Financing Concerns Arise Analysts quickly highlighted the potential risks associated with such a large, nonbinding investment. Some industry commentators described the arrangement as “vendor financing,” where Nvidia would provide funding and OpenAI would, in turn, spend heavily on Nvidia systems. This setup raised concerns internally, with Nvidia employees noting that leaning too heavily on a single customer could conflict with the company’s broader strategy of serving the entire AI market. Huang responded to these worries by noting that while Nvidia plans a “huge” investment in OpenAI, it would fall far short of the $100 billion headline number. AI Spending Wave Faces Caution The clarification comes amid a broader reassessment of AI infrastructure spending. Investors have been closely monitoring the pace of capital deployment in the AI sector, seeking assurances that rapid growth will translate into ...

Military personnel do not currently have the legal power to shoot down drones, and instead rely on the police. The government is introducing legislation to change that, which will also allow the military to take action against drones operating underwater.

Maksim Labkouski/iStock via Getty Images By Lynn Song, Chief Economist, Greater China Official manufacturing PMI falls back into contraction China's January PMI fell back into contraction at 49.3, down from December's 50.1. This came in well below forecasts for another month of expansion. Manufacturing PMI has been in contractionary territory for nine of the past 10 months. This suggests that December's data may have been a blip rather than the start of a recovery trend. With that said, soft PMI data has not particularly been reflected in the hard activity data. Industrial production generally had a strong year in 2025. We'll have to wait until the hard data for January-February is published in mid-March to see if this divergence continues. Looking at the subcategories, we saw a broad-based slowdown across most categories. Production remained in expansion territory in January, but slipped from 51.7 to 50.6. New orders slowed from 50.8 to 49.2, returning to the same level as November. New export orders pulled back to 47.8 from 49.0. Other indicators such as order backlogs and employment also edged down on the month. There were a few silver linings in the data. One, ex-factory prices rose to 50.6. This was a 28-month high, and the first time in 20 months that we saw this subindex over 50. Raw material input prices rose to 56.1, a 20-month high. Both of these sub-indices trending higher is a positive sign for addressing deflation concerns. By enterprise size, China's large companies continued to outperform the medium and small ones, with large enterprise PMI still in expansion while medium and small enterprises were in contraction. In contrast, the RatingDog China manufacturing PMI painted a more optimistic picture, rising from 50.1 to 50.3. In this data, we see similar trends of higher output prices, but in contrast with the official PMI data, there was also a pickup of the key subindices of production, new orders, and employment. This PMI tends to have a sample size ...
