Nvidia stock jumps on Trump’s tariff policy shift
In a message posted to Truth Social today, Trump said that he had authorized a 90-day pause on his “reciprocal tariffs” for all countries except China. Instead, the base tariff rate of 10% will apply during the reciprocal tariff pause. On the other hand, Trump also said that the tariff rate on Chinese goods would be raised to 125% — up from the 104% import tax that went into effect after midnight yesterday.
Investors appear to be very happy with the shift in tariff policy, and Nvidia stock is seeing a big rebound on the news. But even after today’s valuation surge, the company’s share price is still down roughly 17.5% year to date.
Nvidia and Alphabet are expanding their partnership
At Alphabet’s Google Cloud Next conference today, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said that the two companies were teaming up to launch on-premise agentic artificial intelligence (AI) services and expand existing cloud offerings. Alphabet also said that its Google Cloud division would be one of the first customers to receive Nvidia’s new Vera Rubin graphics processing units. While the tariff news is by far the biggest catalyst for Nvidia’s stock gains today, the expanded partnership with Alphabet is also good news for investors.

Nvidia and these stocks are helping the chip sector to its best day in 24 years
The chip sector could see its best day in 24 years, as beaten-down semiconductor stocks rebound in the face of President Donald Trump’s decision to pause hefty reciprocal tariffs on some countries and instead set the rate at 10% for 90 days.
All 30 members of the PHLX Semiconductor Index SOX+16.31% were solidly in positive territory Wednesday. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. 2330-3.80% TSM+10.23%, the smallest gainer in the index, was up 10.9% and having its best day in almost two years. The biggest gains at recent check belonged to Onto Innovation Inc. ONTO+23.63% and Microchip Technology Inc. MCHP+23.74%, each up more than 23%. Advanced Micro Devices Inc.’s stock AMD+20.68% could see its best day in nearly nine years, and was up 20.1% at recent check. Nvidia Corp.’s stock NVDA+16.28%, up 15.4%, could see its best day since one last February that brought a 16.4% rise.
In all, the PHLX Semiconductor Index was up 16% and coursing toward its best day since Jan. 3, 2001, when it rose 17.5%. While raw semiconductors themselves weren’t subject to the “liberation day” tariffs that Trump announced last week, chip stocks had still been weighed down heavily by the planned new levies. One reason is that products like servers and computers, which contain chips, weren’t exempt from the tariffs. And as investors began to worry more about a potential recession, that fueled concerns about the sustainability of hardware spending in a possible downturn.
It’s worth noting that while Trump said he would enact a 90-day pause on tariff hikes for many countries, he also said he would raise the tariff on China goods to 125%. Still, the move to lower reciprocal tariffs to 10% signaled that Trump is softening his stance and may be paying more attention to the economic ramifications of his tariff policies.
“This was the news we and everyone on the Street was waiting for as the pressure on Trump took on a life of its own and the eye-popping rise of the 10-year [Treasury] yield was ultimately too much to hold his line,” Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives wrote in a note to clients. Within the tech sector, “this was much-needed relief and pulls stocks and the market from the edge of the cliff,” Ives added.
