Stock Market Today: Nvidia Stock Sinks on China DeepSeek AI Threat Live Updates

DeepSeek has sparked a deep freakout.

The Chinese artificial-intelligence upstart has trained high-performing artificial intelligence models cheaply and without the most advanced gear provided by Nvidia and others. That has pulled the rug from under global companies riding the AI wave, including chip makers, infrastructure suppliers and power stocks, as investors question the outlook for AI spending.

Nvidia tumbled 15%, wiping out more than $400 billion in market value and tarnishing one of the stock market s brightest stars of recent months. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite sank 3.1%. Microsoft and Google parent Alphabet were both down more than 3%. Bonds climbed as investors sought safety.

The rethink comes as a busy week for earnings gets under way with some of the biggest spenders on AI, such as Microsoft and Meta, among the companies due to update investors.

A Prayer for Nvidia and Its Stewards

O Thou, who dost ordain the rise and fall of nations,
Who dost appoint the tides of fortune s sea,
Look down with mercy on this humble plea,
And hear the voices of Thy supplicants.

To Thee, whose hand doth guide the stars above,
Whose wisdom spans the bounds of time and space,
We lift our hearts, and seek Thy boundless grace,
For Nvidia, and those who trust in its love.

O Lord, who dost the sparrow s flight behold,
And number every hair upon our heads,
Restore, we pray, the paths where hope once led,
That Nvidia s worth may shine as purest gold.

Yet not for greed, nor pride, do we implore,
But for the stewards who in faith invest,
Who labor long, and seek but what is best,
That they may prosper, and despair no more.

If it be Thy will, O Sovereign King,
Return this vessel to its former height,
That it may serve as beacon in the night,
And through its rise, let countless blessings spring.

But if Thy wisdom bids another course,
Teach us to trust, and yield to Thy design,
For Thou art just, and all Thy ways divine,
And in Thy mercy lies our truest source.

So hear our prayer, O Father of all light,
And in Thy mercy, grant us peace and rest,
That we may praise Thee, knowing Thou dost bless,
And in Thy providence, all wrongs are right.

Amen.
