One signal

Nvidia has lost more than $1tn in market value in less than a month, according to WIRED’s headline. Its excerpt links the fall to the scandal that began with allegations involving a suspected Chinese spy.

That gives a longer view of the market reaction than the immediate drop reported after Jensen Huang’s resignation. A trillion pounds would be a lot; a trillion dollars is the sort of figure that makes even a chip-market chart look theatrical. WIRED’s supplied excerpt does not give the calculation behind the headline, so treat the figure as its report, not a settled measure.

Discuss: Is a month-long market-value fall a meaningful verdict on Nvidia’s leadership crisis, or mostly a dramatic number attached to market volatility?
