Exclusive: Nvidia requires full upfront payment for H200 chips in China
• Negative Sentiment: Short‑term sentiment volatility — Mixed signals on China approvals and recent intra‑day selling after the CES run prompted some profit‑taking; this increases near‑term volatility despite strong long-term fundamentals.
