<h3><strong>NVIDIA Opens High but Closes Low, Plummeting 8.5%</strong></h3>
<p>Morgan Stanley: NVIDIA's earnings report is not perfect, but the &#34;growing pains&#34; of the transition period are fading, and Blackwell is about to see a full explosion. Demand for Blackwell remains strong and will continue until the end of the year, and the pressure on gross margins is only temporary. AI spending is not a bubble but cyclical, and market enthusiasm will reignite in the next 6-9 months.</p>
<p>Duan Yongping: Preparing to start selling NVIDIA puts; NVIDIA is a very good company. &#34;I want to try hard to see if I can understand whether NVDA can become my investment target.&#34;</p>
<p>When Duan Yongping starts buying NVIDIA, it means NVIDIA has reached a new stage. The competitive landscape for hardware, especially profit share, may be much better than for applications. NVIDIA's current price corresponds to a 20x PE for 2026, making it one of the cheapest in the Mag7. And this may just align with the appetite of long-term value investors.</p>
<h3><strong>&#34;Tech Seven Sisters&#34; All Suffer Losses</strong></h3>

<h3><strong>“Trump Trade” Continues to Cool, Tesla and Bitcoin Continue to Decline</strong></h3>

<h3><strong>After Google and Microsoft, Amazon Officially Announces Quantum Computing Chip</strong></h3>
<p>Amazon's cloud division AWS has developed the company's first quantum computing chip, Ocelot, claiming it can reduce the cost of quantum error correction by up to 90%. Researchers used an innovative design called cat qubits, combining cat qubit technology with other quantum error correction components onto a single microchip, which can be produced in a scalable manner using microelectronics industry processes. If the Ocelot architecture significantly reduces the resources required for error correction, the cost of quantum computing chips could be reduced by 80% compared to existing methods, potentially bringing the realization of quantum computers up to five years earlier.</p>
<h3><strong>“NVIDIA's Favorite” AI Cloud Provider CoreWeave Applies for IPO Within a Week</strong></h3>
<p>Raising $4 billion, with a valuation exceeding $35 billion.</p>
<p>NVIDIA's favoritism towards CoreWeave has reached a level of &#34;treating it as one's own&#34;—after receiving investment from NVIDIA, CoreWeave became a direct cloud computing power supplier for NVIDIA, with even Microsoft ordering cloud computing power from them.</p>
<p>Analysts believe that CoreWeave's success helps NVIDIA diversify its operational risks and effectively counter potential competitors in the chip industry, namely Amazon and Google.</p>
<h3><strong>Xiaomi Targets the High-End Market, Electric Vehicle SU7 Ultra is the Fastest on Earth, Priced at 529,900 Yuan</strong></h3>
<p>Xiaomi's SU7 Ultra performance is comparable to million-level supercars, with smart driving supporting roaming positioning parking and ultra-narrow garage exit.
