Nvidia's $253.12 Billion Trading Volume Secures Second Spot Amid China Market Exclusion

On June 13, 2025, Nvidia's trading volume reached $253.12 billion, ranking second in the day's stock market. Nvidia's stock price fell by 2.09%.

Nvidia has decided to exclude the Chinese market from its revenue and profit forecasts due to stringent U.S. restrictions on chip sales to China. This decision comes after the company reported a significant 69% increase in quarterly revenue but missed out on $2.5 billion in revenue due to its inability to ship H20 chips to China. The export restrictions are expected to cost Nvidia an additional $8 billion in sales in the second quarter of 2025.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has stated that the company is not counting on the U.S. to ease the restrictions, and any relaxation would be a bonus. The Trump administration has tightened restrictions on selling Nvidia H20 AI chips to China, fearing that Beijing will use them to boost its military and AI capabilities. Huang has criticized the April Trump tariff on chip exports, stating that the goals of the export controls are not being achieved and that they are doing more harm to U.S. businesses than to Chinese ones.

Nvidia is currently evaluating its limited options for the Chinese market and is effectively closed from China’s $50 billion data center market until it settles on a new product design and receives approval from the Federal government. The chipmaker reported $4.6 billion in Q1 revenue from H20 chip sales as customers rushed to import the chips before the Trump tariffs kicked in. China business accounts for 12.5% of overall Nvidia revenue, and by zero-basing China, Nvidia removes the volatile variable that neither Wall Street nor the Commerce Department can reliably handicap.

Despite the challenges, Nvidia has maintained its position as a major AI player globally by announcing a potential project to build the first cloud computing platform in Europe. The platform will focus on Industrial artificial Intelligence applications and use Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture to power the AI infrastructure. The AI factory will be based in Germany and feature 10,000 GPUs, including Nvidia DGX B200 systems and RTX Pro Servers.
