Investor sentiment is also being lifted by several key developments this week. CEO Jensen Huang has been in the spotlight, urging Washington to adopt a balanced approach to the U.S.-China tech rivalry, warning at this week’s developers conference that isolating China’s developer ecosystem is not a winning strategy.
