Nvidia Bets on China Boom
According to sources familiar with the matter, the new TSMC order adds to an existing inventory of 600,000 to 700,000 chips. The strong demand from China has prompted Nvidia to reconsider its initial plan to rely solely on its existing stockpile.
Notably, Nvidia had designed the H20 chip specifically for China after U.S. export restrictions limited access to its more advanced AI chips. While less powerful than the H100 or the latest Blackwell series, the H20 complies with U.S. trade rules.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration reversed an April ban and allowed Nvidia to resume sales of its H20 GPUs to China. However, the company is facing supply constraints due to surging demand and has reportedly informed Chinese customers that its H20 chip supply is limited. Nvidia has also requested that Chinese companies interested in buying H20 chips provide updated documentation, including client order volume forecasts.
Meanwhile, CEO Jensen Huang stated during a recent trip to Beijing that future H20 production depends on order volume, and any restart of the supply chain would take around nine months.
Is Nvidia a Buy or Sell Stock?
According to TipRanks, NVDA stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 34 Buys, three Holds, and one Sell assigned in the last three months. At $184.91, the Nvidia average stock price target implies a 5% upside potential.

Trump Gives Mexico 90-Day Reprieve From Higher Tariffs
President Donald Trump said he extended Mexico's current tariff rates for 90 days to allow more time for trade negotiations with the US' southern neighbor. 'We have agreed to extend, for a 90 Day period, the exact same Deal as we had for the last short period of time, namely, that Mexico will continue to pay a 25% Fentanyl Tariff, 25% Tariff on Cars, and 50% Tariff on Steel, Aluminum, and Copper,' Trump said Thursday in a social media post.

Nancy Pelosi Brushes Off Trump Insider Trading Accusation
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi rejected President Donald Trump's suggestion that she "became rich" through insider trading, branding the allegation "ridiculous" during a CNN appearance on Wednesday. Newsweek reached out to Pelosi for comment on Thursday via email outside of regular office hours. Why It Matters Stock market trading by members of Congress has become controversial in recent years, with critics suggesting some lawmakers have benefited from insider trading. However, none have been convicted since former New York Representative Chris Collins in 2017. Earlier this week, the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee voted 8-7 to advance a bill that would ban members of Congress, the president and the vice president from buying stocks and require them to divest from their stock holdings by the start of their next term. The bill was introduced by Missouri Republican Josh Hawley, sparking anger from Trump. What To Know Speaking to reporters about Hawley's bill on Wednesday, Trump said, "You know, Nancy Pelosi became rich by having inside information." He went on to call for an investigation into the California Democrat, claiming, without providing evidence, that she "has the highest return of anybody practically in the history of Wall Street." Pelosi was asked about Trump's comments during a live CNN appearance on Thursday, which she branded "ridiculous," adding she supports the proposal to ban stock trading by members of Congress. "I had no concern about the obvious investments that have been made over time, I'm not into it, my husband is, but it isn't anything to do with anything insider, but the president has his own exposure, so he's always projecting," Pelosi said.

Jemal Countess/GETTY Hawley's proposed legislation would block members of Congress, the president and the vice president from purchasing stock immediately and selling stocks after 90 days. It would also mean lawmakers have to divest from their stock holdings by the beginning of the next congressional term, while the president and vice president would be required to do so by the next presidential term in 2029. As Trump is constitutionally limited to two terms, this wouldn't impact him, though he has on occasion toyed with seeking a third term. In a post on Truth Social, Trump said Hawley was "playing right into the dirty hands of the Democrats" with his bill. Trump told Time in April that he would "absolutely" sign a bill to ban congressional stock trading. April also saw prominent Democrats call for an investigation into whether members of the Trump administration or lawmakers benefited from insider trading before the president announced a pause to his global tariff rollout. What People Are Saying President Donald Trump, on Truth Social: "I don't think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the 'whims' of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!" Florida Senator Rick Scott said Wednesday, following Hawley's remarks: "He made a reference to billionaires, OK? I don't know when in this country it became a negative to make money. But somehow, if you've made money, you're supposedly—I think Senator Hawley suggests—you shouldn't be serving because you might trade stocks." Cenk Uygur, host of the left-leaning Young Turks media outlet, on X: "Almost all our politicians are frauds. When GOP was out of power, Trump was in favor of banning Congressional insider trading. Nancy Pelosi was opposed. Now that Democrats are out of power, Pelosi is pretending she's in favor of banning insider trading and now Trump is against." What Happens Next The next step for Hawley's bill would be for it to receive a Senate floor vote. However, similar legislation that also passed the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee last year failed to reach this stage.

US Pixel 10 Pro Pricing Reveals Google's Competitive Choice
Ahead of Google's launch of the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro smartphones in August, new details on how much the Android-powered flagships will cost have leaked. Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Pricing We now have US pricing to go with the European pricing previously reported. The four main model will be priced similarly to the Pixel 9 family. Specifically, the Pixel 10 will start at $799 for the 128 GB model, the Pixel 10 Pro starts at $999, the Pixel 10 Pro XL at $1,199 for 256 GB and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold at $1,799 for 256 GB. As suspected, Google is dropping the 128 GB model for the Pixel 10 Pro XL. While it was not listed in European pricing, there was a question whether this was a regional quirk, but with European, US, and Canadian pricing all missing the 128 GB option, the higher starting price on the Pixel 10 Pro XL is because there's no 128 GB to 128 GB comparison possible. However, note that the 256 GB to 256 GB price is matched from the Pixel 9 Pro XL. Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Design Google has already confirmed the general design of the Pixel 10 family by publishing a teaser image of the smartphone on the Pixel Store front page. The thinner bezels were on show, as was the third lens added to the Pixel 10's main camera and the smaller camera island. The real changes will be inside. The move from Samsung to TSMC to manufacture the Tensor Mobile chipset should result in both improved performance and enhanced thermal management. Google will undoubtedly use the Pixel 10 family as the base for the next generation of mobile artificial intelligence, with the Tensor Mobile chip bringing tailored hardware to support the Gemini AI software. Pixel 10 And Pixel 10 Pro Release Goole will be holding its 'Made By Google' event on Aug.20 where the new Pixel family of smartphones and accessories will be launched. Retail sales will follow one week later in select regions. Now read more about the various retail options for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro...
