The directive mandates that all new and earlystage government projects must use domestically produced AI chips, severely limiting market access for US giants like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. This move is a direct response to years of US export restrictions that have curtailed Chinas ability to procure advanced semiconductors. For local Chinese firms like Huawei and Cambricon, this presents a significant, governmentbacked opportunity to fill the massive market gap left by international competitors in the nation’s crucial AI infrastructure buildout.

The price of gold experienced a significant drop, falling 1.7 percent to $3,934.77 per ounce, as traders abruptly reversed their expectations for US monetary policy. The volatility follows the Federal Reserves late October rate cut, which was quickly followed by cautionary language from Chair Jerome Powell regarding any further nearterm easing. Powell’s warning that a December cut is "not a foregone conclusion" caused the probability of such a move to plummet, removing a fundamental pillar of support for the bullion market. This coordinated hawkish pivot by Fed officials strengthened the US dollar and led to a swift repricing of ratecut expectations. Read More..
