NVIDIA is trading 3.07% down now at $9.46 after a broad semiconductor sell-off driven by sharply higher Treasury yields and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions.
- The 30-year Treasury yield reached 5.327%, pressuring high-growth technology valuations.
- Chip peers also declined.
- NVIDIA’s Ohio data-center guarantee for OpenAI is significant company news, but available coverage does not identify it as the cause of the August 18 decline.
