Nvidia CEO Visits Beijing Amid U.S. Export Controls :Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a high-profile visit to Beijing this week, drawing global attention amid tightened U.S. export restrictions on advanced AI chips to China. The updated U.S. policy, aimed at safeguarding national security and critical technologies, could impact Nvidia’s revenue by an estimated $5.5 billion. Despite this, Huang's presence at an event hosted by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade signals continued dialogue and an emphasis on long-term engagement with the Chinese tech ecosystem. The visit underlines Nvidia's commitment to maintaining global partnerships and reflects the complex, interdependent nature of modern supply chains.

Federal Reserve Maintains Steady Rates in the Face of Inflation Pressures:
The Federal Reserve has chosen to hold interest rates at current levels, maintaining its cautious stance amid ongoing inflationary signals. While short-term inflation has seen modest upticks—partly driven by tariff-related costs—the Fed is focused on long-term stability. Officials have reiterated their commitment to data-driven decision-making, with a clear eye on managing expectations and fostering sustainable economic growth. The central bank's approach is viewed by many analysts as a steady hand during a time of elevated uncertainty, reinforcing confidence in its inflation-targeting framework.

European Central Bank Expected to Lower Rates Again : Meanwhile, the European Central Bank is expected to cut interest rates for a seventh consecutive time, bringing the benchmark rate down to 2.25%. This anticipated move comes as European policymakers respond to economic pressures linked to global trade dynamics, including the effects of new tariffs imposed by the United States. The ECB continues to prioritize liquidity and credit support for businesses and households, as it works to cushion the Eurozone economy from external shocks. Investors are closely watching for any forward guidance on the ECB’s next steps as monetary policy becomes increasingly pivotal in 2025’s challenging macroeconomic landscape.
