The selloff was driven by concerns over a Chinese model by DeepSeek that reportedly achieved GPT-4-level efficiencies using an open-source architecture and minimal training costs. This raised questions about Nvidiaโ€™s long-term dominance in the AI hardware market. $NVDA responded by emphasizing the role of its GPUs in DeepSeek's inference processes. They framed the development as an example of "Test Time Scaling," complementing existing scaling laws for AI models and reinforcing the necessity of Nvidia's hardware in high-performance AI systems. ๐Ÿ”Š ๐Ÿ”Š President Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on foreign computer chips, pharmaceutical producers, and materials like steel, aluminum, and copper if they are produced outside the United States.

According to four sources, the proposal suggests starting with a 2.5% tariff, which would increase by the same percentage monthly, giving businesses time to adjust and allowing countries to negotiate with the U.S. administration. The proposal surfaces amidst ongoing internal discussions within Trump's team about implementing tariff policies. On Monday, Trump intensified his stance during a speech in Florida, threatening additional tariffs on specific sectors, including semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, steel, copper and aluminum. He also strongly suggested he could also impose them on automobiles from Canada and Mexico, countries heโ€™s already threatened with 25% across-the board tariffs as soon as Feb. 1. ๐ŸŸข ๐Ÿ“Š Today the indices are slightly in the red $SPX500 -0.07% , $DJ30 -0.25% and $NSDQ100 +0.17%.
