The chipmaker revealed in a blog post that U.S. authorities have reversed an earlier stance that blocked such shipments under tightened trade restrictions. This development is seen as a major revenue booster for Nvidia, which had written off billions in potential sales due to the embargo.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"803\" data-end=\"1086\">The timing is crucial as markets brace for the release of June\u2019s U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) later in the day and earnings reports from major U.S. banks. Investors see Nvidia\u2019s news as a signal of easing U.S.\u2013China tech tensions, a potential tailwind for broader sentiment.<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1236\">\n<li data-start=\"1088\" data-end=\"1134\">\n<p data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1134\">Nvidia (NVDA) jumped 5% in early trade<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1135\" data-end=\"1185\">\n<p data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1185\">H20 chip sales to China may resume immediately<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1186\" data-end=\"1236\">\n<p data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1236\">U.S. CPI data and bank earnings in focus today<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niftytrader.in\/content\/governor-malhotra-flags-policy-flexibility-under-neutral-stance\/\">Governor Malhotra Flags Policy Flexibility Under \u2018Neutral\u2019 Stance; August RBI Meet in Focus<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1238\" data-end=\"1288\">Index Futures React Positively; Tech in Lead<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1290\" data-end=\"1584\">Following the Nvidia update, S&amp;P 500 futures (ES=F) rose 0.3%, and Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ=F) climbed 0.5%, with tech stocks leading the pre-market rally.
