Bank of America believes this presents a "more attractive buying opportunity" rather than a risk warning. Analyst Vivek Arya acknowledges some factors that are causing investor concern, but believes the market is overreacting. Rising HBM component costs have raised concerns about gross margins, but Arya argues that investors are overestimating this pressure while underestimating Nvidias pricing power, economies of scale, and approximately $119 billion in supply chain commitments. He expects Nvidia to offset the impact of higher HBM costs, as the pricing of the next-generation Rubin platform is likely to be significantly higher than the current Blackwell product line, thus keeping gross margins in the mid-70% range. The second biggest investor concern comes from competition in custom chips, such as the TPU co-designed by Google and Broadcom. Arya believes this concern is also exaggerated. Googles TPU has been around for over a decade, while Nvidias GPU revenue has grown 700 times during that time. In the long term, Nvidia will still account for 65% to 70% of AI infrastructure spending by hyperscale cloud providers. Furthermore, Nvidias current forward P/E ratio is approximately 18.69, which is close to half of the average level over the past 10 years and near an 11-year low.Japans broad money supply liquidity rate was 4.5% year-on-year in June, down from 4.7% in the previous month.

Due to China's higher-than-expected inflation, the USD/CNH exchange rate falls below 6.95

During the Asian session, the USD/CNH pair broke below the narrow consolidation created near 6.9600. The downward pressure on the main currency is a result of the higher-than-anticipated release of China's inflation data and investors' increased risk appetite.

 

China's yearly Consumer Price Index (CPI) has hit 1.6%, which is greater than the projected 1.0% but less than the prior announcement of 2.1%. While the monthly figure indicates a 0.2% decline, the annual rate is up 0.4%. The yearly Producer Price Index (PPI) data has decreased by 1.3% compared to the consensus estimate of a 1.5% decline. The economists at TD Securities projected that the annual inflation rate would decline from 2.1% to 1.5%.

 

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) may be required to provide additional stimulus packages to stimulate the pace of economic activity, despite the fact that the release is greater than anticipated but in a phase of decline.

 

In the interim, the removal of Covid-19 restrictions will stimulate economic activity in China. Previously, the administration imposed limits on the movement of personnel, goods, and machines in an effort to prevent the spread of disease. Now, the reopening of the economy after domestic demonstrations will improve economic prospects.

 

As investors anticipate a delay in the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen dramatically to near 104.56. (Fed). In addition, markets have shrugged considerable uncertainties around the Fed's peak interest rate guidance.
