Huang reiterated earlier sentiments, expressing that while he hopes for a non-zero market share in China, the company is <em>expecting zero<\/em> due to ongoing U.S. export controls. This follows previous comments where Huang noted Nvidia&#39;s market share in China&#39;s high-end chip market had fallen from <strong>95% to 0%<\/strong>. He has also critically viewed the U.S. technology blockade against China as a &quot;mistake,&quot; emphasizing the importance of the Chinese market.<\/p>\n<h2>China&#39;s Services Trade Deficit Expands<\/h2>\n<p>In economic news from Asia, China&#39;s services trade deficit continued its expansion. The nation recorded a <strong>$16.8 billion<\/strong> deficit in services trade for September. This contributed to a substantial cumulative services trade deficit of <strong>$153.2 billion<\/strong> for the January-September period, as reported by the FX regulator. These figures underscore persistent imbalances within China&#39;s services sector.<\/p>\n<h2>Eurozone Economy Shows Modest Gains, Stable Inflation<\/h2>\n<p>Across the eurozone, recent surveys conducted by the European Central Bank (ECB) indicate a landscape of <em>modest economic improvement<\/em> and <em>stable inflation<\/em>. The ECB&#39;s Corporate Survey revealed that firms reported a slight improvement in business conditions, though growth in activity remains modest. This suggests a cautious and gradual recovery trajectory for businesses in the bloc.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the ECB\u2019s Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) indicated that inflation remains close to the <strong>2% medium-term target<\/strong>, with the Governing Council\u2019s assessment of the inflation outlook broadly unchanged. Longer-term inflation expectations are holding steady at <strong>2.0%<\/strong>, providing a degree of stability to the inflation outlook.<\/p>\n<h2>Spain&#39;s Current Account Declines, Aluminium Inventories Rise<\/h2>\n<p>Specific economic data from Spain showed a contraction in its current account balance for August, which declined to <strong>\u20ac5.08 billion<\/strong> from the previous month&#39;s <strong>\u20ac6.3 billion<\/strong>. This marks a decrease in the country&#39;s external balance.<\/p>\n<p>In the commodities market, London Metal Exchange (LME) aluminium inventories experienced a notable surge. Stockpiles increased by <strong>98,525 tons<\/strong>, bringing the total LME aluminium inventory to <strong>558,050 tons<\/strong>. This significant rise in inventory could influence global aluminium pricing and market dynamics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has
