(RTTNews) - Nvidia [NVDA] has received purchase orders for its H200 processors from customers in China and is restarting manufacturing after securing the necessary export approvals, according to CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia now has clearance from both U.S. and Chinese authorities, allowing shipments to move forward after months of delays. China previously accounted for at least one-fifth of Nvidia's data center revenue, but exports were heavily restricted after the U.S. government required licenses for advanced chip sales beginning in April. Nvidia had earlier disclosed a $5.5 billion charge linked to those export controls. Before the latest approval, Nvidia had developed the H20 chip specifically for the Chinese market under earlier restrictions. Subsequent policy adjustments allowed the more advanced H200 to be sold, provided the U.S. government receives 25 percent of the related sales revenue. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress stated that only a small number of H200 units had been approved so far, and no revenue had yet been recorded from China. Despite the limited China sales, Nvidia reported 73 percent revenue growth in its latest quarter and projected about 77 percent growth for the current quarter, while still assuming no China data center revenue in its guidance.

Oil rose after Iran and Israel traded strikes on key energy facilities in the Middle East, boosting turmoil in markets as the conflict stretched toward three weeks. The most-active contract for West Texas Intermediate advanced as much as 3.3% to $98.60 a barrel, while Brent closed near $107 and Europe’s gas benchmark surged 6% on Wednesday. Iran carried out an attack on a major LNG site in Qatar , one of several energy assets it pledged to target following strikes on a key field in the Islamic Republic. Oil has surged about 50% since the start of the war, which has wrought chaos across the Middle East — choking off the Strait of Hormuz to shipping and slashing a swath of oil and gas production. However, Iran’s upstream energy industry had been largely spared until now, helping to contain the prospect of an escalation that could have a bigger impact on longer-term supply. US President Donald Trump said he knew about the Israeli attack on the South Pars field in advance, but wants no more strikes on Iranian energy sites, the Wall Street Journal reported . He said earlier this week that attacking oil infrastructure on Iran’s main export hub, Kharg Island, remains on the table following earlier strikes on military targets there. “The pressure on the Strait of Hormuz means that President Trump cannot simply declare victory and walk away, as that would not resolve the underlying issue,” said Will Todman, senior fellow in Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “Many of the options President Trump has to increase pressure on Iran would send energy prices even higher, including attempting to seize Kharg Island or striking Iran’s energy production infrastructure.” Qatar’s Ras Laffan Industrial City — the complex that houses the world’s biggest LNG export plant — suffered “ extensive damage ” after a missile strike, local authorities said. The site was among several named earlier by Iran in a list of energy sites across the region that it co...

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) is one of the Jim Cramer’s Hottest AI Stock Picks. eCommerce and cloud computing giant Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s shares are up by a modest 8% over the past year. Cramer discussed the firm on the episode of Mad Money aired on January 16th. Since then, Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s shares are down by 6.3%. According to media reports, a slowdown in the firm’s cloud computing business and higher AI capital expenditures are responsible for some of the movement. For instance, the stock dipped by 5% in February after the firm revealed that it could spend as much as $200 billion in capital expenditure in 2026. The announcement led DA Davidson to downgrade Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s shares to Neutral from Buy as it commented that the firm’s struggles with the AWS cloud computing business were making it invest heavily through capital expenditures in order to “catch up.” In August 2025, the stock had dipped by 8% in after-market trading following the firm’s second quarter earnings. Some notable metrics from the results were an 18% AWS revenue growth rate, which was lower than rivals’ figures, and an estimated $118 billion capital expenditure in the fiscal year. In his comments, Cramer had cautioned against looking at Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) on a quarterly basis: UBS Raises its Price Target on Ross Stores, Inc. (ROST) to $199 and Maintains a Neutral Rating Copyright: nicoletaionescu / 123RF Stock Photo “Amazon, I’ll tell you, this is a multi-year move. We’re not to look at it on a quarter-to-quarter basis. I think it’ll be higher long term. I’ve been behind it now for 20 years. I’m not changing my view.” While we acknowledge the potential of AMZN as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

The BBC World Service will be given increased government funding as part of a three-year deal after ministers concluded it was needed to counter the rise of global disinformation. The Guardian understands that Yvette Cooper, the foreign secretary, has agreed an additional £11m a year for the next three years on the government’s grant to the service. It ends huge uncertainty over the settlement, which was still unknown weeks before the current funding was due to end. It represents an 8% increase on the previous year’s allocation. However, BBC insiders warned that by the end of the three-year settlement the increase would barely keep pace with inflation, meaning funding will in effect be flat. Other figures in the BBC welcomed the deal, believing it was the best that could have been achieved with the Foreign Office itself facing tight finances. The BBC is continuing to push for the government to take on all of the costs of the World Service as part of its talks about the future of the corporation’s royal charter. Lengthy discussions have been taking place between the BBC and ministers over the settlement. The broadcaster’s executives have warned that cuts have already had to be made to the service, even as China and Russia increase their global media spending. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said the World Service deal would take its total funding 42% higher than in 2024-25. Cooper said: “In a world of rising disinformation, the BBC World Service provides hundreds of millions with journalism they can trust and rely on.” She said its importance had become even greater in countries such as Iran. Despite the BBC being banned there, one in four people sought out access to it before the internet shutdowns in January that followed protests against the Iranian regime. Last month the BBC launched an emergency radio service in Iran, using its coverage from its Persian digital and TV channels to reach more people. Last week the Commons public accounts co...

A warm spring evening at Anfield, with a comeback required to salvage a European tie and perhaps a season, and Liverpool delivered once more. Arne Slot might have done many things wrong this season but losing that feature of Liverpool’s identity can not be added to the list after an emphatic victory over Galatasaray. Liverpool will be reunited with Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter finals of the Champions League, in a repeat of the last 16 tie that Slot often reminisces about from last season, thanks to a rousing and incisive defeat of distinctly average visitors from Turkey. Mohamed Salah recovered from missing a first half penalty to produce a superb second half display in which he made history in becoming the first player from Africa to score 50 goals in the Champions League. He, and Liverpool, got there in style. Anfield was more partisan than usual with Galatasaray fans banned from the second leg following trouble away at Juventus in the playoff round. Uefa’s ban did not extend to the 200 Galatasaray supporters with VIP tickets – a standard allocation at Champions League fixtures – and Okan Buruk’s players made a point of applauding their small pocket of support high up in the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand before kick-off. But that was pretty much all they gave them during a one-sided first half. Liverpool did not take long to assert their authority over the contest. Galatasaray were even quicker with the theatrics and time-wasting tactics. Some stoppages were genuine, such as the one for the arm injury suffered early on by Victor Osimhen, but Polish referee Szymon Marciniak came close to losing control at times as those in white collapsed at the slightest contact. Osimhen was hurt in a tussle with Ibrahima Konaté, enraged by Szoboszlai’s reaction – for which the Liverpool midfielder later attempted to apologise – and spent the remainder of his time on the pitch in a passenger role, avoiding any physical challenges and not offering the escape route his teammates de...

China and Japan’s long-standing rivalry has deep historic roots, and relations between the two have taken a significant turn for the worse in recent months. This, the second in a three-part series, looks at whether Beijing overplayed its hand on the Taiwan issue in the face of what is a ‘strategic reality’ for Japan and how it may leverage its history of Japanese aggression. Find the first part here More than four months into the bitter chill that has settled over China-Japan relations , the rift between the two major Asian powers is playing out beyond their own fraught ties. In addition to rolling out more trade restrictions and travel advisories targeting Tokyo, Beijing has sought to rally support from the international community, particularly Asia-Pacific neighbours, in its criticism of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s remarks in early November regarding a Taiwan contingency. Advertisement As for Japan, it has doubled down on bolstering its alignment with “like-minded” countries amid an absence of significant diplomatic backing from the United States, its most important ally. Notably, Beijing has struggled to galvanise opposition to Tokyo. Many countries in the region have been reluctant to side with Beijing, partly because they harbour security concerns similar to Japan’s and prefer to stay neutral, making it difficult for China to pressure Takaichi into fully retracting her remarks, according to analysts.
