Nvidia shares dropped 6.9% after the company revealed U.S. officials had restricted the export of its H20 chips to China, citing national security concerns. The company said the move could impact first-quarter results by as much as $5.5 billion due to inventory and purchase-related charges.
AMD reported a potential hit of up to $800 million from similar restrictions on its chip exports to China, sending its shares down 7.3%. Companies across various sectors are voicing concerns about trade uncertainty clouding economic forecasts for the rest of the year, with analysts warning of increased volatility ahead.
