Nvidia AI Chip Repairs Soar In China
Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips keep China's repair shops busy despite U.S. export bans. Reuters reports that about a dozen boutique firms in Shenzhen have quietly built businesses fixing advanced Nvidia AI chipsH100s, A100s and morethat shouldn't even be in the country. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. One repair shop spun off a new unit late last year and now handles up to 500 GPUs a month, underscoring really significant repair demand, says a co?owner who's been tuning Nvidia gaming cards for 15 years. Meanwhile the Financial Times notes that nearly $1 billion of Nvidia AI chips still flowed into China in the three months after tighter U.S. export curbs, highlighting gaps in enforcement and the lengths firms will go to fuel AI projects. Analysts say these repair services not only keep existing hardware alive but also chip away at the impact of export restrictions meant to slow China's AI push.

Canadian dollar gives up much of its weekly gain as trade deal prospects ebb
By Fergal Smith TORONTO (Reuters) -The Canadian dollar weakened against its U.S. counterpart on Friday as optimism waned that Canada would reach a trade deal with the United States before an August 1 deadline and ahead of a Bank of Canada interest rate decision. The loonie was 0.5% lower at 1.3710 per U.S. dollar, or 72.94 U.S. cents, after trading in a range of 1.3639 to 1.3725. For the week, the currency was on track to gain 0.1%. The United States may not reach a negotiated trade deal with Canada, U.S. President Donald Trump said, suggesting his administration could set a tariff rate unilaterally. Canada sends about 75% of its exports south of the border. "Markets are now pricing in a lower chance of a U.S.-Canada deal before August 1," said Kevin Ford, FX & macro strategist at Convera. "With tariff talks likely dragging on past next Friday, the CAD has bounced back above 1.37." The Bank of Canada will hold its overnight interest rate steady at 2.75% on July 30 for the third consecutive meeting thanks to a recent rise in inflation and a fall in unemployment, according to a Reuters poll of economists that still found many expect at least two more cuts this year. The U.S. dollar advanced against a basket of major currencies after Trump on Thursday said that he did not intend to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, as he has frequently suggested he could. The price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, fell 1.4% to $65.11 a barrel on negative economic news, including data that showed new orders for key U.S.-manufactured capital goods unexpectedly fell in June. Canadian bond yields moved lower across the curve, with the 10-year down 4.1 basis points at 3.515%.
