エヌビディアの取締役会が既存の自社株買いプログラムに基づき1500億ドルを追加で承認し、残存する承認枠の総額が2350億ドルに増えたことを受け、同社株は上昇した。AI半導体の雄である同社は、このプログラムを2028会計年度までに完了させる見通しだ。鉱業セクターでは、オーストラリアのノーザン・スター・リソーシズが、南アフリカのライバルであるゴールド・フィールズからの買収提案を拒否した。実現すれば第2位の金鉱山会社が誕生していた可能性があり、同社は387億豪ドル、271億ドル相当の現金と株式による提案は自社の事業価値を過小評価していると述べた。ゴールド・フィールズの株価はこの提案を受けて最大16%下落し、金と銀の値下がりに伴い貴金属鉱山会社も軒並み軟調となった。バリック・ゴールドは4%安、フリーポート・マクモランは約3.5%安となった。ロブロックスはジェフリーズで「保有」から「アンダーパフォーム」に格下げされた。同証券会社は、7月の第2四半期決算以降の同株の30%上昇は、今後12カ月の予約状況に対する過度に楽観的な見方を反映していると指摘した。同株は5%下落し、年初来では43%安となっている。エヌビディアはまた、新たな二重層のAIセキュリティシステムを発表し、これによりオープンAIのモデルによるハギング・フェイスの最近の著名な侵害を防げたはずだと述べた。中国はアリババとバイトダンスに対し、エヌビディアの新型RTX Pro 5500チップの購入を許可する可能性がある。
