Nvidia Slides on Chip Curbs; China Open to US Dialogue

On today's podcast:
1) Nvidia slides after it warns Trump's curbs on China chips will cost it billions. The US government has restricted Nvidia from selling its H20 chip in China, escalating the tech battle between Washington and Beijing. Restrictions and trade war concerns are expected to negatively impact chip-sector earnings and China's ambitions to compete on the global tech stage.
2) China says it is open to trade talks if President Trump's Administration shows more respect. China wants the US to show more respect by reining in disparaging remarks by members of Trump's cabinet before agreeing to trade talks. Beijing also wants a more consistent US position and a willingness to address China's concerns around American sanctions and Taiwan.
3) Investors await a key speech by Fed Chair Jay Powell. Powell is making a speech in Chicago as traders look for hints on how the Fed will manage rates as President Trump aims to implement his tariff policy, and they're also following retail sales data today.
