Nvidia said overnight that it had been given assurances that it could sell its H20 artificial-intelligence chips in China again.

The Nasdaq Composite posted its latest record finish on Tuesday, supported by a jump in shares of heavyweight Nvidia, but the other Wall Street benchmarks ended lower as a key inflation report and a flurry of bank earnings failed to excite investors.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s comments and news of the resumption of H20 chip sales to China have excited Wall Street.

Nvidia Corp. planea reanudar las ventas de su chip H20 de inteligencia artificial en China, tras obtener garantías de Washington de que dichos envíos serán aprobados. Esto representa un giro radical respecto a la postura anterior del gobierno de Trump sobre limitar las ambiciones de Pekín.

Data center operators in China, which use Nvidia’s H20 chips to crunch data for various AI services, have been struggling to find a local alternative that is as good as the U.S. company’s chips.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will attend the opening ceremony of China's international supply chain expo on Wednesday, Chinese state broadcaster CCTV said on Tuesday.
