Science & TechnologyNvidia Loses Over 250 Billion Dollars in Market Value in Single Day as Tariff Panic Hits Tech Stocks
Nvidia stock plunged more than 9 percent on April 3, erasing over $250 billion in market value in a single day as tariff panic swept through US tech stocks. Analysts warn that rising AI infrastructure costs from tariffs could constrain demand for Nvidia chips.
Affected by US tariff shock, US tech stocks suffered the most devastating single-day selloff in recent years, with Nvidia stock leading the broader market decline. On April 3, as the Trump government announced a large-scale tariff plan covering most trading partners, the S&P 500 index single-day decline exceeded 6%, setting the largest decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. Nvidia stock fell more than 9% on that day, with market capitalization losses exceeding $250 billion, becoming the worst-hit individual stock in this tariff panic. Analysts point out that Nvidia has a highly globalized supply chain, making it especially sensitive to tariff shocks. The company produces large quantities of chips in Asia and exports them to the United States. Additionally, market worries that tariffs may push up AI infrastructure construction costs, further constraining major tech companies procurement scale. Despite this, some analysts still believe Nvidia long-term fundamentals remain solid. AI computing power demand continues strong, and short-term volatility should not be overinterpreted. This sharp plunge has also caused Nvidia year-to-date gains to narrow significantly, with the company stock retreating approximately 30% from year-start highs.
