Nvidia stock slips as China blocks H200 chips and Washington adds new tariff risk
Nvidia shares fell 1.5% to $183.14 early Thursday after reports that Chinese customs were told to block the company’s H200 AI chips. Washington has authorized H200 exports to China with new conditions, including third-party testing and tariffs. Chinese tech firms were reportedly advised not to buy the chips unless necessary.
