- Nvidia's Megaspeed ties show potential blind spots in the U.S. effort to block China from accessing advanced chips
According to experts, CEO Jensen Huang's business meetings are routine practice. The article says existing U.S. export controls largely miss cloud computing, pointing to a possible gap in efforts to keep advanced chips from China.
- What Is Nvidia (NVDA) Asking Cloud Clients To Change Under New China Rules?
Nvidia has reportedly told data center and cloud customers to curb sales to Chinese clients to comply with new US export rules, requiring at least 51% of future sales from these partners to come from non-Chinese buyers. The policy affects global AI infrastructure providers that use Nvidia hardware to serve both Chinese and non-Chinese enterprises. The article argues the cap could limit unit volumes tied to China-focused clouds while shifting demand toward US, European and other buyers. Key indicators to watch include how Nvidia and its largest cloud customers describe regional demand and supply in upcoming earnings reports, and any quantified impact on China-related revenue.
- Nvidia Tells Cloud Clients to Cap Chinese Business at 49%
The Financial Times, citing five people familiar with the matter, reported that Nvidia has told its data center partners to sell at least 51% of their cloud computing services to non-Chinese companies. The instructions were delivered verbally through Nvidia's sales force and regional teams. Many Chinese firms have rented advanced computing capacity through overseas cloud arrangements for AI tasks such as model training, so the move adds obstacles for them as Washington tightens Chinese access to advanced U.S. chips. Nvidia shares rose 1.38% in premarket trading. Earlier this year, several senior employees at Super Micro Computer Inc. were charged with smuggling about $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia AI servers to China.
- Oracle cancels $7 bln chip leasing deal with Tencent, FT reports
Oracle has scrapped a $7 billion chip leasing contract with Tencent after increased pressure from the Trump administration, the Financial Times reported. The five-year lease, signed earlier this year, would have given Tencent access to as many as 100,000 advanced AI chips in data centers across southeast Asia, but it was canceled after U.S. officials raised concerns. Beijing also scrutinized the deal and asked Tencent to seek domestic chips. According to the FT, Nvidia has told cloud clients to sell at least 51% of their capacity to non-Chinese companies, while ByteDance and Alibaba still hold large chip leasing deals with U.S. providers. Oracle is a major supplier to ByteDance in Asia, with several data centers in Malaysia.
- Nvidia China clients to get 1% of $70 bln RTX chips ordered- Bloomberg
According to Bloomberg, major Chinese AI and cloud companies including Alibaba, Tencent and Bytedance ordered about 6 million of Nvidia's RTX Pro 5500 chips worth $70 billion. However, sources say they expect to receive only about ten thousand chips, roughly 1%, within the next four months. The muted expectations come as Nvidia struggles to expand production capacity to meet surging demand for its advanced AI chips, while data center buildout shows few signs of easing.
- NVIDIA Rises 3% Despite AI CEO’s Warning on Chinese Chip Competition; AMD Climbs 5%, Broadcom Gains 3%
NVIDIA rose 3% to $208.24 in afternoon trading, snapping a four-session losing streak, though it remains down 11% over the past month; its market value reached $5.03 trillion. AMD gained 5% and Broadcom 3% as chip stocks moved higher together. Misha Laskin, CEO of NVIDIA-backed startup Reflection AI, warned that Chinese AI labs giving away open models abroad will start selling their own chips and data centers, while the Financial Times reported NVIDIA has told cloud clients to sell at least 51% of their services to non-Chinese companies. NVIDIA has removed China data center compute from its outlook, and China revenue including Hong Kong fell to $19.7 billion in fiscal 2026 from $25.0 billion. The stock trades at 17x forward earnings, a five-year low versus a five-year average of 36x.

- Elon Musk Has Just Made a Shocking Proposal: Those Who Hear It "Panic and Can't Sit Still" – Must Be Stopped Immediately
According to two sources, SpaceX is in talks with EchoStar, parent of budget carrier Boost Mobile, to launch a dedicated mobile service through a partnership, which could involve acquiring Boost or gaining access to the network infrastructure Boost leases from AT&T and T-Mobile US. Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T had all previously rejected Musk's request for network access. MoffettNathanson estimates the US mobile market is worth up to $235 billion, and SpaceX agreed to spend $8 billion on spectrum licenses to cover areas where satellite signals cannot reach. However, experts say satellite signals are not yet strong enough for indoor and urban coverage, and the service may still need approval from the major carriers. SpaceX and Musk have not commented.

- After repeated margin-call sales, DIG chairman buys 5 million shares
DIC Corp Chairman Nguyễn Hùng Cường has completed the purchase of 5 million DIG shares between 12/10/2026 and 02/11/2026, raising his ownership from 3.41% to 4% of charter capital. The move follows a margin-call forced sale of more than 5.2 million DIG shares by Mr. Cường on 31/7/2026, and several family members also faced margin-call sales. Vũ Thị Thu Hương, wife of DIC Corp CEO Nguyễn Quang Tín, has also registered to buy 1 million more shares from 15/10/2026 to 13/11/2026. In business results, Q3/2026 revenue fell 43.2% to VND 761.36 billion and after-tax profit dropped 64.2% to VND 69.16 billion; nine-month pre-tax profit of VND 241.85 billion reached 40.3% of the full-year target.

- Midterm Election Impact: SPCX, ASTS, RKLB Stocks Sink As Musk’s Political Ties Put Tesla-SpaceX Merger Under Fresh Scrutiny
SPCX, ASTS and RKLB, along with several other space stocks, fell between 2% and 6% overnight as fears of political backlash against Elon Musk after Democratic midterm gains spread across the sector. Market observers said heightened scrutiny of government contracts and possible hearings could complicate a Tesla–SpaceX merger, though it would not automatically block the deal. Musk contributed $446 million during the 2026 midterm cycle, mostly to Republican-aligned groups. Investor George Noble urged adding to his bearish bets on SPCX and TSLA, while Morgan Stanley said SPCX trades cheaper than the S&P 500 for fiscal year 2028, at 17.6 times estimated earnings versus the index's 17.7 times.
