Chip stocks set for recovery after DeepSeek shock; Nvidia drops
Chip stocks in the U.S. and Europe rose on Wednesday for a second straight day, recovering from a punishing selloff triggered by China's low-cost DeepSeek artificial intelligence tool at the start of the week. Shares of AI chip leader Nvidia, however, slipped 2.7% to $125.44 and weighed on the Nasdaq. European tech stocks jumped, partly fuelled by a nearly 8% surge in ASML after the Dutch semiconductor equipment maker reported a surprisingly large rise in new bookings.
