TMC (TMC) Gives up Gains as Countries Resume Deep-Sea Mining Talks
TMC the metals company snapped two straight days of gains on Monday, declining by 6.47 percent to end at $6.65 apiece as investors turned cautious about the International Seabed Authority's (ISA) resumption of talks on controversies surrounding deep-sea mining.
This followed President Donald Trump's order in April this year to fast-track permits for deep-sea mining even beyond US waters, taking advantage of its non-membership to the organization.
Even with Canada's membership in the organization, TMC the metals company Inc. (NASDAQ:TMC), a Canadian firm, immediately submitted its first offshore license application, bypassing the ISA.

In recent news, TMC the metals company Inc. (NASDAQ:TMC) earned an 'outperform' rating from Wedbush and an $11 price target, a significant upgrade from its 'neutral' stance and $6 price target previously.
According to Wedbush, the upgrade was based on a stronger US government from President Donald Trump's executive order in April, 'Unleashing America's Offshore Critical Minerals and Resources,' which could allow TMC the metals company Inc. (NASDAQ:TMC) to bypass the UN-affiliated International Seabed Authority and ramp up production in the Clarion Clipperton Zone.

U.S. Senators Warn Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about His Trip to China
Two U.S. senators—Republican Jim Banks and Democrat Elizabeth Warren—sent a letter to Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang on Friday, urging him to be cautious during his trip to China. They asked him not to meet with any companies that are believed to be helping China get around U.S. export restrictions, especially those connected to the Chinese military or intelligence agencies and that are listed on the U.S. export blacklist. The senators warned that even appearing to support these companies could weaken U.S. efforts to control advanced chip exports.

Make smarter investment decisions with TipRanks' Smart Investor Picks, delivered to your inbox every week. Huang's trip was scheduled for the same day the letter was sent. In response, an Nvidia spokesperson said that when American technology leads the global standard, 'America wins,' and noted that China has one of the world's largest groups of software developers. They added that AI systems should be designed to run best on U.S.-based hardware, which would encourage other countries to choose U.S. tech over alternatives. However, the concern from lawmakers is that Huang's meetings could expose weaknesses in current rules and send the wrong signal about America's stance on protecting its technology. This issue ties into recent tensions between Nvidia and U.S. regulators. At the Computex trade show in May, Huang praised President Donald Trump's decision to loosen some AI chip export rules and called the earlier restrictions ineffective. But newer limits put in place in April could still cost Nvidia up to $15 billion in lost revenue. Lawmakers are now considering laws that would require chipmakers to verify where their products end up. There are also growing fears that Chinese companies like DeepSeek are helping the military and using fake companies to dodge the rules. Despite all this, Nvidia is reportedly preparing a cheaper version of its Blackwell AI chips specifically for the Chinese market. What Is a Good Price for NVDA? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on NVDA stock based on 37 Buys, four Holds, and one Sell assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average NVDA price target of $176.29 per share implies 6.7% upside potential.
