Shares in Nvidia fell close to 5% premarket after the company said it was launching an investigation into Huang’s relationship with an executive suspected of working for Chinese intelligence. The investigation adds scrutiny to Nvidia's leadership amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. The chipmaker's premarket decline reflects investor concerns about potential regulatory implications.
The investigation into Huang's ties comes as the company faces increased export restrictions. Markets were otherwise steady with Treasury futures and stock index futures holding relatively flat.
