Nvidia Stock Surge
Nvidia's stock witnessed a significant rebound on Tuesday, recovering approximately half of its Monday losses.

The stock displayed a marginal decline in premarket trading, while Nasdaq futures showed a modest increase.
DeepSeek's Impact
DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, has challenged industry perceptions regarding AI, valuations, and expenditures. Its R1 AI model offers advanced reasoning capabilities at a significantly lower cost compared to OpenAI's model.
Market Recovery
Following the initial rout, AI-related stocks staged a partial recovery. Chip equipment manufacturer ASML experienced a morning surge of up to 10% in Amsterdam, while Taiwan's TSMC gained 1.3%. ASML CEO Christophe Fouquet expressed optimism about the potential for lower-cost AI models to drive chip demand.
Investor Sentiment
Investors interpreted the sell-off as a buying opportunity, indicating a return to calm in financial markets. Attention now turns to the Federal Reserve meeting and its implications for interest rates in the United States.
