Trump Postpones EU Tariffs, Nvidia Shares Rise Amid Q1 Earnings Anticipation

Investors are showing bullish sentiment toward Nvidia ahead of its first-quarter earnings report, with call options betting on the stock rising to $145 and $150, despite recent tariff-related challenges. Nvidia warned that its quarterly results would reflect a $5.5 billion charge due to new export restrictions on China amid ongoing trade tensions led by President Trump's administration. The stock market is reacting positively to the postponement of EU tariffs, with Nvidia shares gaining about 2.5% in premarket trading as trade negotiations continue. Although Nvidia's shares have been volatile due to geopolitical uncertainties and AI investment concerns, the company has contributed significantly to the S&P 500's gains since the rise of AI technologies like ChatGPT. Broader market optimism is evident as major tech stocks, including Apple, Meta, Tesla, and Microsoft, also show gains following the easing of tariff threats. Analysts remain attentive to Nvidia's earnings release, anticipating insights into how trade policies and AI demand will impact its financial performance.
