Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
China’s Foreign Ministry dismissed as “groundless” US claims that the woman linked to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in an extramarital affair works for Chinese intelligence, after Huang acknowledged the relationship on Sunday and Nvidia opened an investigation. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said Beijing had already responded and that the “so-called Chinese spy” narrative is speculative and amounts to smear tactics. The denial matters because the dispute risks spilling into US-China diplomacy just before the two countries’ presidents are due to meet in Shenzhen next week. Watch whether Nvidia’s internal probe and the US intelligence claim gain further evidence, and whether the episode complicates the Shenzhen summit’s agenda.
