NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) saw its shares rise by 3.57% in pre-market trading on October 13, 2025, reaching $189.50. This increase came after President Donald Trump indicated a potential de-escalation in the U.S.-China trade war by softening his stance on tariffs. Trump's comments on Truth Social, reassuring markets about China, spurred a positive response across technology stocks, particularly in the semiconductor sector. The broader market also reacted favorably, with Nasdaq 100 futures climbing 1.95% and S&P 500 futures up 1.39%. NVIDIA's performance highlights its vulnerability to U.S.-China relations, given its significant role in AI chips and data center accelerators. The easing of trade tensions could help maintain NVIDIA's access to the crucial Chinese market.
