Ahead Of Trump-Putin Summit, Zelensky Warns Any Decisions Taken Without Ukraine Are "Stillborn"
By Jane Foley, senior FX strategist
The Nasdaq ended Friday at a fresh all-time high, lifted by big tech and a very good week for Apple. The week brought the start of new tariff rates on exports from dozens of countries to the US, but sentiment found support on news of concessions, particularly the exemption on semiconductor tariffs for companies that produce in the US. Over the weekend news emerged that Nvidia and AMD have agreed to give the US government 15% of revenues received from chip sales in China in exchange for export licences. The news highlights the controversy over the sales of H20 chips to China. Some US security commentators have warned that the chips will enhance China's military and undermine the US' relative strength in AI.

Selling AI Chips to China? Nvidia & AMD Agree Unusual 15% Fee | Explained (Bloomberg)
|
|
Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. agreed to pay 15% of their revenues from Chinese AI chip sales to the US government in a deal to secure export licenses, an unusual arrangement that may unnerve both US companies and Beijing. The arrangement reflects US President Donald Trump's consistent effort to engineer a financial payout for America in return for concessions on trade.
