The setup
Nvidia enters a new era with longtime CEO Jensen Huang abruptly out after admitting an affair; the news sent Nvidia and its customers lower this week and even weighed on copper (Reuters). In Washington, House Speaker Mike Johnson signaled a hardening consensus in Congress on limiting chip exports to China (Reuters). South Korea said Nvidia will keep its GPU pledges after Huang's resignation (Reuters). Asia's early rebound faded as the Nvidia uncertainty lingered (Dow Jones).
