Episode Transcript Jensen Huang Resigns From Nvidia Let's start with the story everyone in tech is talking about. Jensen Huang, Nvidia's co-founder and the leader most closely tied to the AI surge of recent years, has resigned as president, CEO, and board director, effective November 11th. Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress steps in as interim CEO. Nvidia's chips sit at the center of much of the world's AI buildout, so this kind of sudden change at the top creates real uncertainty, and investors reacted fast, with technology stocks dropping sharply. There's no permanent successor yet, which means plenty of questions about direction for the company that has set the pace for the entire industry. Chinese AI Firms Seek Overseas Compute The ripple effects are already reaching beyond Nvidia itself. Chinese AI companies are reportedly racing to lock in overseas computing deals. The worry is that political fallout from the Nvidia scandal could push U.S. lawmakers to restrict remote access to advanced chips, essentially closing the route many firms use to rent...

Episode Transcript TSMC invests in Anthropic, OpenAI Let's start with the money flowing through AI. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's board has approved plans to invest 500 million dollars each in Anthropic and OpenAI. TSMC already makes the chips that much of the AI industry depends on, so taking direct stakes in two of the leading model developers is a notable change. It suggests chipmakers no longer want to be just suppliers. They want a seat at the table with the companies shaping where AI goes next, and some exposure to the upside if those companies keep growing. CoreWeave revenue surges 168 percent Speaking of upside, CoreWeave delivered a quarter that investors clearly liked. The AI cloud provider reported third-quarter revenue of 3.66 billion dollars, up 168 percent from a year ago, and raised its full-year forecast for 2026. Shares climbed nearly 25 percent on the news. CoreWeave rents out data center capacity to AI companies, so many people treat it as a gauge of...

Get a free month - https://get.consensus.app/automated_daily Today's topics: Global tech selloff deepens - The Nasdaq fell 5.5%, its worst day since April 2025, while Nvidia lost over $400 billion in market value and Oracle, CoreWeave and Nebius slid. South Korea's KOSPI briefly plunged nearly 9% and Tokyo dropped about 6% as investors questioned AI infrastructure returns. Chip stocks attempt Friday rebound - Semiconductor and storage stocks including SanDisk, Western Digital, Micron, AMD and Seagate bounced in Friday trading after the steep AI-driven selloff. The rebound highlights ongoing chip-sector volatility without settling doubts about AI spending. OpenAI raises eleven billion more - OpenAI has reportedly secured an additional $11 billion in funding at a valuation near $1.25 trillion. The round shows massive capital still flowing into leading AI companies despite the tech market rout. Anthropic IPO faces market test - Anthropic's expected pre-Thanksgiving IPO, with valuation talks around $1.2 to $1.3 trillion, faces pressure from falling AI and tech shares. The offering could become a key test of investor appetite for AI stocks.

Tesla ends Cybertruck for Cybercab - Elon Musk says Tesla will wind down Cybertruck production in 2027 and redirect factory capacity to Cybercab robotaxis. The shift underscores Tesla's push to scale its autonomous-vehicle strategy. Episode Transcript Global tech selloff deepens We start with the market turmoil we've been following, which escalated sharply this week. The Nasdaq dropped 5.5 percent in a single session, its worst day since April 2025, with AI companies and chipmakers leading the way down. Nvidia alone shed more than 400 billion dollars in market value. Oracle fell 7 percent, and AI cloud players CoreWeave and Nebius took hard hits as well. The selling spread quickly to Asia. South Korea's KOSPI briefly plunged nearly 9 percent before closing down about 6, with SK Hynix and Samsung among the worst performers, and Tokyo also fell roughly 6 percent. Asian markets had ridden the AI boom harder than most, so they had further to fall. The bigger worry is practical: if this sentiment sticks, borrowing could get more expensive for data-center builders and AI firms that depend on cheap capital. Chip stocks attempt Friday rebound By Friday, there was at least a partial bounce. SanDisk, Western Digital, Micron, AMD and Seagate all moved higher after the previous session's beating. Welcome relief for investors, but it doesn't answer the core question of whether AI spending will actually pay off. For now, volatility is the theme. OpenAI raises eleven billion more Despite the turbulence, the money keeps flowing at the very top. In an update on OpenAI's fundraising, the company has reportedly raised another 11 billion dollars, in a round expected to close in the coming weeks, at a valuation of around 1.25 trillion dollars. That keeps it among...

Roughly $2.3 trillion in market value vanished amid AI bubble fears and uncertainty over the U.S. midterm elections. Chip and Storage Stocks Plunge - Nvidia and other AI chipmakers kept falling, while SanDisk dropped about 22% and Western Digital about 17%. Investors are questioning whether AI data-center demand can justify current valuations. AI Sell-Off Hits Asia, Europe - Japan's benchmark index fell more than 6% at the open, and stock markets across Asia and Europe followed Wall Street lower. AI chip and equipment makers led the losses as higher borrowing costs threaten data-center spending. Tesla, SpaceX, Anthropic Valuation Doubts - Tesla shares fell about 11% and SpaceX about 9% as the tech rout spread beyond chipmakers. Investors also questioned whether Anthropic can support a proposed $1.5 trillion valuation in a future IPO. Inflation Data and Earnings Ahead - Next week brings U.S. inflation data and earnings from CoreWeave, Applied Materials and Cisco Systems. The results will test whether corporate performance can support AI-driven stock valuations. Deutsche Telekom on SpaceX Mobile - Deutsche Telekom CEO Tim Hoettges warned that SpaceX entering the U.S. mobile market could weaken carriers' pricing power, a risk already showing up in telecom valuations. He argued that satellite connectivity cannot fully replace terrestrial networks in cities and indoors. Malaysia Weighs 5G Vendor Diversification - Industry analysts are urging Malaysia to require vendor diversification in its 5G networks, which use Ericsson, Huawei and ZTE equipment. The goal is to reduce cybersecurity risk and dependence on a small number of telecom suppliers. Episode Transcript Nasdaq Correction Erases Trillions Let's start with the market story we've been following, which took a sharper turn. The tech-heavy Nasdaq suffered its steepest one-day decline in roughly eighteen months. It fell more than five percent and is now over ten percent below its recent peak, which officially puts it in correction territory. The Nasdaq 100 did even worse, sliding about six point four percent, and estimates put the market value wiped out at around two point three trillion dollars. The worries driving the selling are familiar: whether the AI boom can keep funding enormous data-center build-outs, what higher borrowing costs mean for that spending, and how fast AI development will really move. One new factor is uncertainty over what the U.S. midterm elections could mean for policy and markets. Chip and Storage Stocks Plunge The heaviest damage landed on the companies most closely tied to AI hardware. Nvidia and other major AI chipmakers extended their losses and pulled the broader market down, even as several non-tech sectors managed to gain. Storage names were hit especially hard. SanDisk fell about twenty-two percent, and Western Digital dropped about seventeen. The common thread is that investors are rethinking how much demand there will really be for chips, memory, and drives if data-center construction slows. Valuations built on years of uninterrupted AI growth suddenly look much less certain. AI Sell-Off Hits Asia, Europe The selling didn't stay on Wall Street. Japan's benchmark index fell more than six percent shortly after the open, and markets across Asia followed. Chip and semiconductor-equipment makers led those...
