TLDR

  • Nvidia stock climbed 1.5% after Bloomberg reported China granted preliminary approval for tech companies to order H200 AI chips
  • Chinese tech giants Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance can now discuss specific purchase quantities with Nvidia
  • Chinese companies could buy around 1.5 million H200 chips worth roughly $30 billion in revenue
  • Nvidia agreed to give the U.S. government a 25% cut of sales from China
  • The approval reverses earlier reports that Beijing was blocking H200 chip shipments to China

Nvidia shares jumped Friday morning after reports emerged that Chinese regulators have cleared the path for major tech companies to order the chipmaker’s H200 AI processors.

The stock rose 1.5% following a Bloomberg report that Beijing granted preliminary approval to companies including Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance. These firms can now advance to the next stage of purchase preparations and discuss specific order quantities.

The development marks a reversal from recent reports suggesting China was blocking H200 shipments. Sources told Bloomberg that Chinese officials have given in-principle approval for the orders to move forward.

The H200 chips are critical components for running AI systems. They represent a key part of Nvidia’s high-performance computing lineup.

Massive Revenue Potential

KeyBanc analyst John Vinh estimates Chinese companies could purchase around 1.5 million H200 chips. That translates to roughly $30 billion in potential revenue for Nvidia.

The deal comes with strings attached. Nvidia agreed to pass 25% of the China sales to the U.S. government.

Chinese regulators reportedly plan to encourage companies to buy a certain amount of domestic chips as a condition for approval. However, no specific quota has been set yet.

Supply Chain Impact

The Financial Times previously reported that manufacturers in Nvidia’s H200 supply chain had paused production. This followed customs officials blocking shipments of the hardware designed for the Chinese market.

Beijing’s stance now appears to be softening on these restrictions. The chips involved are specially designed versions created for the Chinese market.

Other semiconductor companies also saw movement Friday morning. Advanced Micro Devices stock rose 2.7% in premarket trading. Broadcom shares dipped 0.3%.

AMD hopes to secure its own chip sales in China. Broadcom works with ByteDance on custom AI processors.

Nvidia’s regular trading session Thursday saw shares gain 0.8%. The stock opened premarket Friday at $187.74.

The H200 chips are essential for tech companies building and operating AI systems. China’s tech sector has been racing to develop AI capabilities.

Alibaba, Tencent, and ByteDance rank among China’s largest technology firms. All three companies are investing heavily in AI development and infrastructure.

The approval allows these companies to now discuss specific quantities they would require from Nvidia. This marks a concrete step forward in the purchasing process after the preliminary clearance.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
