NVIDIA Stock Rises As Investors Weigh US Tariffs: What's Going On?

NVIDIA Corporation NVDA shares traded higher on Tuesday, reversing earlier losses as investors assess the potential impact of new U.S. tariffs.

What To Know: The tariffs, which have taken effect, impose 25% duties on most imports from Canada and Mexico and raise Chinese import duties to 20%. These measures apply to approximately $1.5 trillion in annual imports. While the auto industry faces substantial risks from higher costs and supply chain disruptions, the technology sector, including Nvidia, is responding with resilience.

NVIDIA's gains come despite broader market weakness, as investors focus on the company's strong position in the AI and semiconductor sectors. Concerns over rising consumer prices, particularly for goods like fresh produce, remain a factor in the market's volatility. Target CEO Brian Cornell warned that consumers would see price increases within days due to the tariffs.

The tariff developments have also sparked political reactions. Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno supports the measures, arguing that the short-term economic pain is necessary to address issues like border security and drug trafficking. Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced retaliatory 25% tariffs on U.S. goods, further escalating trade tensions.

NVDA Price Action: Nvidia shares were up 1.69% to $115.99 on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro.
