Nvidia (NVDA): Shares rose 1.6% higher on a Bloomberg report that the Trump administration plans to repeal AI chip export restrictions. According to the report, the administration will repeal a Biden-era rule, known as the AI diffusion rule, which caps the amount of AI chips that could be exported in order to prevent smuggling to China. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) stock also gained 1.5%.
Arm (ARM): Shares tumbled 8% after the chip technology provider issued a weak revenue forecast and warned about higher costs from the US-China trade war. Arm collects royalties for its chip designs. If the smartphone and tech market slow down due to tariffs, investors worry it could dent Arm’s revenue.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD): The company missed first quarter revenue estimates on Thursday, as it wasn’t able to offset weakness in its traditional TV business with box office hits from its studios division.
