what happened
Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday after reports of a personal relationship with Alice Huang, a former senior manager at the Singapore chipmaker Megaspeed. US intelligence agencies reportedly regard her as an asset of Chinese intelligence. Huang has said he knew nothing about any espionage.
The company's board has launched an independent investigation, and the affair has drawn Nvidia further into rising US-China tension. Nvidia shares fell 10%, erasing billions of dollars from the company's market value.
Separately, according to Moody's, net direct tax collections in India rose 11.8% year on year to Rs.14.42 trillion as of 10 November, based on provisional Income Tax Department data. Corporate tax receipts grew 18%, and securities transaction tax collections jumped 51.6%.
why it matters
For markets, the Nvidia affair adds governance risk to a company that sits at the centre of investor interest in AI, and its link to US-China tensions makes the shares sensitive to further headlines. The tax data, by contrast, points to steady revenue growth for the Indian government.
