Why Nvidia Stock Dropped This Morning
Shares of semiconductor manufacturer Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), a supplier of chips for everything from playing video games to performing artificial intelligence tasks to mining cryptocurrency, dropped 2.2% through 10 a.m. EDT Friday. It's the last of those three chip uses -- mining cryptocurrency -- that seems to be weighing on the stock.
The People's Bank of China, you see, just announced that it is banning all cryptocurrency transactions in the country, and in particular, banning Bitcoin and Tether from circulating in China.
