Nvidia, AMD, and Chipmakers Surge on Hopes of Eased China Export Rules

The semiconductor market showed signs of renewed strength on Monday as key chip manufacturers, including Nvidia and AMD, saw stock gains amid reports of trade discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials.

The talks, held in London, are said to involve strategic topics such as the export of rare earth minerals and access to U.S.-made semiconductor technologiesa significant concern for both sides in an increasingly tech-driven global economy.

While no formal agreements have been made, the sentiment around a potential softening of restrictions contributed to a positive uptick in semiconductor shares. Nvidia's stock moved higher, despite the U.S. government maintaining its position on export limitations for certain high-performance chips, such as the H20. AMD and other sector players also experienced notable gains, reflecting broader optimism.
