Shares of Nvidia (NVDA) surged 27% in trading on Thursday after the chipmaker reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue for the first quarter of 2023.
The company’s revenue of $8.29 billion was up 46% year-over-year, and its earnings per share of $3.46 were up 89% year-over-year. Both figures beat analysts’ expectations.
Nvidia’s strong results were driven by strong demand for its chips from data centers and gaming. The company said that it expects its revenue to grow by 43% in the second quarter of 2023, which would be its fastest growth rate in over a year.

Huang said that he expects the demand for Nvidia’s chips to continue to grow in the coming years. He said that the company is “well-positioned” to capitalize on the growth of the AI and machine learning markets.

“Debt Ceiling Debacle Continues – The Damage may be done even if a deal is reached”
Debt ceiling updates

– Biden: We put forward proposal to freeze spending for two years
– GOP Debt negotiators give ground on defense spending demands
– White House: We believe there continues to be a way forward on debt ceiling talks and the only option is for congress to act pic.twitter.com/0uWa2Ntut3
According to JPMorgan economist, there’s a 25% (and rising) chance the US reaches the X-date without a deal.
The cost to protect against a default—via credit default swaps—is at its highest since 2011 while yields on short-term T-bills maturing after the X-date remain elevated.
What constitutes a “Soft Default”? Just ask the folks at Fitch.
A stark new warning from the Fitch credit rating agency about U.S. debt added fresh urgency Thursday to ongoing debt ceiling negotiations between the White House and congressional Republicans, with only seven days to go before the United States faces an imminent threat of debt default. Fitch Ratings, one of the big three ratings agencies, announced late Wednesday that it had placed the United States’ triple-A status on “rating watch negative.”

DeSantis promises to protect bitcoin live on twitter spaces

Ron DeSantis Says He Will Protect Bitcoin If Elected President
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who launched his presidential campaign on Wednesday, said he would protect Bitcoin if elected.
“I think the current regime, clearly, they have it out for Bitcoin, and if it continues for another four years, they’ll probably end up killing it,” DeSantis said during a Twitter Spaces event with Elon Musk.
DeSantis, a Republican, has expressed support for decentralized cryptocurrencies in the past. He acknowledged the risks in the sector but said that people should be able to make their own decisions.
“I just do not have an itch to have to control everything that people may be doing in this space,” DeSantis said.
DeSantis’ comments come as crypto exchanges such as Coinbase have battled U.S. regulators. Some have warned that regulatory uncertainty in the country could push the industry offshore.
Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest wrote earlier this week that the United States is at risk of losing a leading position in the global crypto ecosystem to countries such as the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Australia and Switzerland.
DeSantis’ support for Bitcoin could appeal to crypto enthusiasts who are concerned about the current administration’s stance on the cryptocurrency. However, it remains to be seen whether DeSantis would be able to deliver on his promise to protect Bitcoin if elected president.
