Amidst a U.S. Commerce Department and FBI probe into alleged AI chip smuggling by Megaspeed International and potential Congressional testimony demands for NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, the market displayed divergent sentiment with NVIDIA stock falling 4% while the semiconductor sector gained. Concurrently, Anthropic is preparing to launch its IPO, a pivotal event for the AI trade that could determine year-end market rallies given its $80 billion revenue run-rate and high compute costs. Global equities rose on tech buying and falling oil prices, though Japanese consumption data and a Republican-led impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth added complexity to the economic and political landscape.

Amid a broad U.S. market rally driven by falling oil prices and dip-buying activity, NVIDIA shares declined despite its semiconductor peers surging, a drop triggered by an internal board investigation into CEO Jensen Huang's extramarital affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. The scandal has introduced "key man risk" for the $4.26 trillion company, prompting congressional oversight and speculation that rivals like Anthropic and AMD could benefit from potential leadership changes or supply chain fragmentation. While President Trump has publicly defended Huang, the situation raises questions about national security and the future of AI dominance as investors await the company's November earnings report.
