📉 Nvidia shares slump amid reports US is ramping up antitrust investigation

The company’s shares fell 2.4% in after-hours trading, exacerbating a near-10% drop in the regular trading session that slashed its value by $279bn to $2.6tn - marking the largest one-day drop in history for a US company.

Overnight, the US Department of Justice sent subpoenas to Nvidia and other tech companies, in a move that will force recipients to provide information under law. (Bloomberg)

Officials are said to be concerned the company has made it harder for clients to switch to other semiconductor suppliers and is penalising buyers that refuse to exclusively use Nvidia’s AI chips.

🤥 Netanyahu falsely claims Hamas began releasing hostages after Israel entered Rafah, Philadelphi

“You know when they started giving us hostages, when we went into Philadelphia, when we went into Rafah, when we controlled the Rafah crossing. That’s when they felt the pressure,” the Israeli PM alleged at a presser.

The IDF entered Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor in May.

There has been no hostage deal since November, well before Israel invaded Rafah.
