The turmoil over whether Jensen Huang will stay or leave continues to escalate; Nasdaq futures fall 0.88%, and Nvidia drops more than 7% in pre-market trading

BlockBeats news, November 12, selling pressure on Nvidia intensified again in U.S. after-hours trading. The New York Times reported that Jensen Huang had an extramarital affair with a company executive; The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia's board is preparing to remove him from his position. Investors are assessing the potential impact of Huang's departure on Nvidia and the AI market.

According to data from the BIT stock platform, in U.S. pre-market trading on Thursday, Nvidia's share price fell more than 7%, Nasdaq 100 index futures fell 0.88%, S&P 500 index futures fell 0.41%, and Dow Jones futures were essentially flat.

Other AI-related stocks showed mixed performance: CoreWeave surged 25% on Wednesday after beating expectations and raising its revenue guidance, but pulled back 6.81% in pre-market trading on Thursday; AMD rose 2.49%, and Broadcom was expected to rise 1.76%.

Sameer Samana, head of global equities and real assets at Wells Fargo Investment Institute, said caution is still needed regarding the market rebound, as stubborn inflation, further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, rising long-term interest rates, changes in U.S. policy, and regulatory requirements for AI data centers could all put pressure on the market. The U.S. will release initial jobless claims and existing home sales data on Thursday.
