Chip Rout Deepens as $750B Nvidia Deal Pipeline Fuels AI Spending Fears
NVDA sits 20% above its 52-week low of $164.07.
Summary
A global semiconductor selloff intensified Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi plunging 8.1% and Japan's Nikkei dropping 4% as AI spending sustainability fears mount. Nvidia's fresh round of deals exceeding $750 billion is now seen as a potential trigger for concerns over artificially inflated demand. The rout also reflects growing China competition, highlighted by CXMT's Shanghai IPO and a state-backed company's mass production of immersion DUV lithography machines. This follows earlier sector weakness but adds new specifics on the scale of Nvidia's deal pipeline and the breadth of index declines. With Meta and Amazon earnings on deck this week, traders are bracing for capex signals that could either validate or further undermine AI infrastructure spending. The selloff suggests deep skepticism about returns on massive AI investments, directly threatening Nvidia's growth narrative.
