China Summons Nvidia Over H20 Chip Security Risk; US Copper Premium Evaporates | The Pulse 7/31/2025

From Bloomberg Markets and Finance.

Chinese authorities summoned Nvidia Corp. to discuss alleged security risks related to its H20 chips, casting doubt over the domestic business of the world’s most valuable company weeks after co-founder Jensen Huang met senior officials in Beijing.
The Cyberspace Administration of China called company representatives into a meeting to discuss what it deemed serious security vulnerabilities with the artificial intelligence chip. In a statement, the internet watchdog cited comments by US lawmakers about the need to install tracking capabilities into advanced chips sold to other countries. The agency asked staff to explain potential risks and provide documents as needed, the CAC said without elaborating.

Elsewhere, The global copper market is reeling from its biggest shock yet in a year of policy surprises, violent price swings and unprecedented trade dislocation.
President Donald Trump went ahead with 50% tariffs on copper imports, but exempted refined metals that are the mainstay of international trading. The move triggered a record plunge for US prices, after an unprecedented period of fat profits for traders who hurried metal to America before the levies kicked in. A large premium for New York futures over London evaporated.
