## Prediction

Within 24 hours, markets are likely to mark down Nvidia and AMD shares as investors price in reduced flexibility to serve Chinese demand via offshore subsidiaries and rising regulatory risk. Chinese AI and cloud companies will face near-term delays in obtaining top-tier accelerators, pushing them to seek gray-market channels and lower-spec alternatives. The move will also raise premiums for non-US chip suppliers seen as less constrained, such as some Taiwanese or European firms. Sharp underperformance of Nvidia/AMD relative to broader indices and commentary on impacted guidance would confirm this; strong reassurances from Washington about export licence pathways could moderate it.

## Drivers

- US closure of AI chip export loophole for Chinese-owned subsidiaries
- INDOPACOM brief noting expected inflation of US–China tech tensions
- High revenue dependence of AI chipmakers on Chinese demand
