In this article NVDA AMD Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Nvidia showed CNBC its latest Vera Rubin superchip at its Santa Clara, California, headquarters on Feb. 13, 2026. Marc Ganley | CNBC The U.S. Department of Commerce on Sunday moved to close a year-old potential loophole it had created that may have led companies to export the world's most advanced chips — like Nvidia's most sophisticated Rubin and Blackwell processors, as well as AMD's MI350x — to Chinese entities located outside China. The unexpected guidance suggests that the United States' best AI chips may have been making their way to the subsidiaries of Chinese AI firms based in places like Malaysia for almost a year, despite broader U.S. efforts to starve Chinese firms of the semiconductors needed to develop critical AI capabilities. The new guidance was posted on the Commerce Department's website on Sunday. It is unclear how many of the chips have been exported in the year that the Trump administration left the door open. One chip industry source with deep supply-chain knowledge estimated it was in the hundreds of thousands. In unusual weekend guidance, the Commerce Department said it would enforce license requirements for advanced chips to entities headquartered in China, even when the entities were located outside China. The Commerce Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Nvidia and AMD did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Commerce Department created the opening when it announced in May 2025 that it would not be enforcing the AI Diffusion rule issued in the last days of the Biden administration. The rule governed global access to AI chips. Chris McGuire, a technology expert and former State Department official, said in a social media post on Sunday: "This is a HUGE problem." He said the loophole allowed the overseas subsidiaries of Chinese companies to buy Nvidia Blackwell chips without a license. "Chinese companies have been buying these ...

After a strong start to 2026, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEMKT: IWM) is up 18% year to date. That nearly doubles the 10.7% return for the S&P 500 . But the early momentum for small caps and other non-tech stocks has faded once the artificial intelligence (AI) trade returned in full force in April. Now investors need to weigh a positive outlook for economic growth and corporate earnings, but also deal with higher inflation, an uncertain geopolitical environment, and higher-for-longer interest rates. Which of these factors wins out will likely determine whether small caps are still a buy here. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

miodrag ignjatovic/iStock via Getty Images Australians now believe they need more than A$1 million ($718,450) to retire comfortably, according to a new survey, reflecting growing concerns about inflation, rising living costs and the risk of outliving retirement savings. The annual study by Colonial First State, one of Australia's largest pension managers, found the amount Australians believe they need for retirement increased by A$183,000 over the past year. Respondents said they would like to retire at age 62 but expect they will remain in the workforce until about 66. The findings underscore growing anxiety about retirement finances despite Australia's A$4.5 trillion pension system, one of the world's largest. Roughly 2.5 million Australians are expected to retire over the next decade, increasing pressure on the industry to help retirees manage their savings. Inflation remains a concern. Australia's closely watched trimmed-mean inflation measure accelerated to 3.4% in April, remaining above the Reserve Bank of Australia's 2% to 3% target range. The survey of nearly 2,000 people also highlighted a gender gap in retirement confidence. About 62% of women said they worry about having enough money to live comfortably in retirement, compared with 48% of men. Women typically retire with smaller pension balances, reflecting lower average lifetime earnings, career breaks for caregiving and greater participation in part-time work. Data show men aged 60 to 64 have a median retirement balance of about A$220,000, compared with A$163,000 for women in the same age group. Australia's retirement system is funded through mandatory employer contributions, which have gradually increased from 3% of wages when the system began to 12% today. As workers spend more years contributing at the higher rate, retirement balances are expected to rise. Industry estimates suggest a single Australian needs about A$630,000 to fund a comfortable retirement at age 67, while couples require roughly A$7...

4X-image/iStock via Getty Images The U.S. Commerce Department issued new guidance aimed at preventing Chinese companies from accessing advanced American AI chips through overseas subsidiaries, closing what critics described as a significant gap in export controls. The guidance , posted Sunday, states that license requirements for cutting-edge semiconductors will apply to Chinese-headquartered companies even when they operate outside China. The move affects some of the industry's most advanced processors, including Nvidia's ( NVDA ) Blackwell and Rubin chips and AMD's ( AMD ) MI350X products. The change suggests Chinese firms may have been able to purchase high-end AI chips through affiliates in countries such as Malaysia since May 2025, when the Trump administration declined to enforce the Biden-era AI Diffusion rule governing global access to advanced semiconductors. Industry observers say the loophole may have allowed substantial volumes of chips to reach Chinese-linked entities abroad. One supply-chain source estimated shipments could have reached hundreds of thousands of units, though the actual figure remains unclear. The policy shift comes as Washington continues efforts to limit China's access to advanced computing hardware that could accelerate artificial intelligence development and other strategic technologies. Technology analyst and former State Department official Chris McGuire said in a social media post Sunday that the gap in the rules had allowed overseas subsidiaries of Chinese firms to purchase Nvidia's ( NVDA ) latest AI processors without obtaining export licenses. He argued that Chinese companies likely acquired the chips in significant quantities before the new guidance was issued. Notably, the Commerce Department's latest action doesn’t require data centers to stop operating affected hardware or halt maintenance and support services for existing systems.
