AI Chips
Lead: SOXX. Bearish-leaning: Nvidia's board accepted Jensen Huang's resignation (CFO Colette Kress interim CEO) and NVDA closed down more than 4%; Reuters notes its P/E is at a 14-year low but the CEO exit and AI worries cloud the bargain, and tougher China chip curbs are seen as likely. SOXX itself only slipped 0.3%, and after the close Cerebras (+17%) and Applied Materials beat on AI chip demand. X mentions of the chips query hit 81,672 on 12 Nov UTC, about 1.8x the prior day.
