Nvidia stock tumbles from record high on news of possible US chip export cap, ASML's dismal earnings

Nvidia's stock fell over 5% following reports that the Biden administration may impose caps on AI chip exports to certain countries for national security reasons. This decline comes after a two-week surge where Nvidia hit a record closing price propelled by high demand for its AI chips. The drop was exacerbated by disappointing earnings from ASML, a key supplier to the semiconductor industry. While strong demand for AI chips persists, concerns about potential government regulations and a future slowdown in AI spending add uncertainty for investors.
