NVIDIA Gains from Window Dressing, Export Risks after Super Micro Raid, Anthropic GB300 GPU Deployment
NVDA•NVIDIA shares rose as window dressing and Russell index realignment boosted AI and semiconductor stocks before the holiday weekend. Taiwan’s raid on Super Micro for alleged NVIDIA chip smuggling to China highlights export risks, while Anthropic’s Claude deployment on GB300 GPUs increases enterprise GPU demand.
1. Market Rally Boosts NVIDIA
NVIDIA shares climbed as institutional quarter-end window dressing and the Russell index rebalancing drove demand for AI and semiconductor stocks. The realignment included SpaceX’s inclusion in the Russell 1000, which shifted portfolio allocations toward fundamentally strong names like NVIDIA ahead of the July 4 holiday weekend.
2. Taiwan Raid Heightens Export Concerns
Taiwanese prosecutors executed raids on Super Micro offices and residences over alleged smuggling of NVIDIA chips to China. The investigation underscores potential tightening of export controls and the risk that stricter Taiwanese laws could criminalize advanced AI chip exports, potentially constraining NVIDIA’s access to key markets.
3. Anthropic’s GB300 GPU Rollout on Azure
Anthropic launched its Claude family of AI models on Microsoft Azure using NVIDIA’s GB300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs. This deployment leverages NVL72 systems with Quantum-X800 InfiniBand networking and integrates NVIDIA Verified Agent Skills, expanding enterprise-level GPU demand and strengthening NVIDIA’s strategic partnerships.
