The American stock market has, alas, encountered a most unfortunate decline, with technology shares suffering the greatest indignities. It seems Nvidia, poor soul, risks a loss of some $5.5 billion in revenue, all due to restrictions placed upon exports to China. A most disagreeable state of affairs!

Following a period of relative calm, the U.S. stocks have once again taken a tumble, much like a clumsy debutante at her first ball. This time, it was the tech stocks, with Nvidia leading the charge downwards. On Wednesday, the 16th of April, the Nasdaq, usually so buoyant, traded at a mere 16,216.68, having shed a considerable 606.49 points. One might say it has rather lost its bloom.
π
Yet, the remainder of the market did not escape unscathed, as investors, seized by a fit of bearishness, trembled at the prospect of a trade war. The Dow Jones, once so proud, fell 613 points, trading at 39,742.32. And the S&P 500? Down 125.78 points. Oh, the humanity!

A recent survey by the Bank of America suggests that fears of a recession are, alas, on the rise, with a net 42% of investors anticipating a global recession. Such pessimism! One hopes they are not given to fits of the vapors.
π¨
Investors are, furthermore, considering reducing their exposure to the U.S. dollar, with nearly 61% believing it shall decline in the coming year. Meanwhile, safe-haven assets, such as gold, are enjoying a rather immodest rise. It seems everyone is preparing for a rainy day, or perhaps a deluge!

Even Bitcoin, that digital marvel, was not immune to the market’s ill temper, reaching a daily low of $83,100 before steadying itself at $84,233. Despite its notorious volatility, it appears to have weathered the storm with somewhat more grace than its American counterparts. One might almost suspect it of being a stoic philosopher in disguise.

Nvidia Leads the Market’s Unfortunate Dance
Leading this calamitous dance was Nvidia, down a shocking 8.49% to a mere $102, after estimating a major loss in revenue. It seems Washington’s new restrictions on AI chip exports to China shall cost the company a total of $5.5 billion in expected revenue losses for the first quarter of 2025. One shudders to think of the consequences!
π¬
According to the company, the U.S. government has informed them that an export license is now required to sell their H20 chips to China. These advanced AI chips, used to train AI models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, have raised concerns in Washington. They fear China might use these chips to train its own AI models, such as those of DeepSeek. Such suspicion! One wonders if they also check under the bed for monsters each night.
