US Futures, Chip Stocks Slide on Nvidia Curbs, Minerals Probe

16 Apr

US futures slumped after Nvidia Corp. said the government was setting new limits on its exports to China and President Donald Trump ordered a probe into potential tariffs on critical minerals.

Nasdaq 100 contracts fell 1.3% in early trading. S&P 500 futures dropped 0.8% after the index finished slightly lower Tuesday. The US benchmark had earlier climbed on results from financial heavyweights that underscored an equity-trading boon and still-healthy consumers and businesses. Futures for Asian benchmarks were little changed, with a slight gain in Japan.

In after-hours trading, Nvidia extended its decline to more than 6% after saying the US government will begin requiring a license to export the company’s H20 chips to China, an escalation of restrictions that the company has publicly opposed.

Other chip stocks also sank in aftermarket trading. AMD fell 7%; Super Micro, Arm, Broadcom, and Micron fell 4%; Marvell Technology fell 3%; TSMC, Intel, and ASML fell 2%; Qualcomm fell 1%.
