Center Owned by HT MediaNvidia plunges amid alleged Chinese spy row but tech shares rebound, oil prices slump
What's behind this
Nvidia’s shares fell sharply after the company’s board announced an internal investigation into whether chief executive Jensen Huang was the target of a foreign espionage effort, with the stock dropping about 8% at the opening and roughly 5% in pre‑market trading. The probe, prompted by a memo in which Huang disclosed a romantic relationship, has raised concerns about his future and highlighted the lack of a clear successor. While the chipmaker’s plunge added uncertainty, other technology stocks recovered and oil prices fell, and the episode has revived scrutiny of alleged Chinese spy operations, which a CSIS database lists as 224 cases since 2000.
