Nvidia Corp. plans to resume sales of its H20 artificial intelligence accelerator to China based on assurances from Washington that such shipments would be approved, a dramatic reversal from the Trump administration’s earlier stance.
US government officials have told Nvidia that they would green-light export licenses for the H20, the company said in a blog post on Monday. That China-specific variant of Nvidia’s AI chips was created to comply with earlier trade curbs, but has since April also been blocked from sale in China. A spokesperson for the Commerce Department, which oversees semiconductor export controls, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Nasdaq futures surged after Nvidia’s announcement, with Hong Kong and Chinese stocks also reacting positively. The Hang Seng Tech Index rose as much as 2.2%, while data center operators like Beijing Sinnet Technology Co. jumped as much as 7.6%.
