After an impressive performance in Q1, the stock of Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), a key participant in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and semiconductors, has continued their upward trajectory.
Throughout the first quarter of 2024, Nvidia experienced significant surges in its stock price, building upon the momentum from the previous year. This upward trend can be attributed to ongoing positive developments in the market and a prevailing sense of optimism among traders.
However, an earthquake in Taiwan rattled Nvidia’s stock price on Wednesday, raising concerns about its chip supply chain. The company, along with other chipmakers, experienced a stock price decline.

While Nvidia’s main manufacturer, TSMC, evacuated factories due to the quake, its impact seems limited as these facilities are located on the opposite side of the island from the epicenter.
