Nvidia Tops $2 Trillion Market Cap for the First Time
Nvidia, the chip making giant, surpassed the $2 trillion market cap mark for the first time at Friday’s market close. This milestone ranks Nvidia alongside tech giants Apple and Microsoft in the exclusive $2 trillion club. In recent years, the American GPU and System on a Chip manufacturer witnessed a rapid increase in demand with the rise of cryptocurrency mining and artificial intelligence (AI) applications, which led to significant growth in sales and stock prices. The growing demand for gaming GPUs and cloud services also fueled the company’s revenue. Nvidia’s shares surged by over 100% since the beginning of 2021, and the recent rally has pushed its stock price up to $769. Meanwhile, the company’s revenue was reported at $16.68 billion for the fiscal year 2021, representing a 53.6% increase from the previous year. This latest development affirms Nvidia’s position as an industry leader and testament to the sustained growth of the semiconductor industry.
Immigration Becomes the Dominant Political Issue as Residents are Increasingly Concerned
Immigration has surpassed inflation as President Biden’s biggest problem, with polls showing that 28% of people now believe it to be the most significant issue in the United States, up from 9% in August. The growing concern over illegal migration to the United States has forced President Biden to act. Experts believe that in the coming weeks, the President will sign an executive order with limitations on the number of people who can cross the U.S.-Mexico border each day. The resulting monthly cap of 4,000 would serve as a de facto limit until legislation passes, which is uncertain. In addition, the President went to the U.S.-Mexico border, where he hoped to confirm his administration’s commitment to immigration while working towards bipartisan legislation. Despite the anticipated challenges, the President is expected to take further executive action. Nevertheless, President Biden’s attempts to solve the problem are struggling, and his position could be undermined if he is unable to provide a solution.
Biden is Taking Action to Address Immigrant Crisis
Biden has acted fast to address immigration issues since taking office. He tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead efforts in Central America, where the primary source of migration to the United States originates, but the situation remains challenging. Illegal border crossings have reached an all-time high, exceeding the peak during the 2019 crisis by 50%. The Biden administration has been under immense pressure from the Republican Party to address the issue and respond effectively.
US Military to Airdrop Humanitarian Aid to Gaza
The United States military will airdrop humanitarian aid to Gaza to help Palestinians, President Biden has confirmed. This move follows the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine, during which over 250 people, including children, lost their lives, according to an official report. The recent unrest has been blamed on Israel’s continued encroachment, evictions, and occupation of Palestinian lands. The Biden administration, which had been accused of giving Israel free rein, has faced increasing public criticism and, according to reports, tried to make amends with the aid plan. While this action shows President Biden’s willingness to act in response to political pressure, there remains the possibility that unintended consequences may arise.
Conclusion
Inflation has been a significant issue for President Biden since taking office, but it has recently been superseded by immigration. Recent polls demonstrate that Americans are extremely concerned about illegal immigration, forcing the President to sign executive actions and seek bipartisan support. Nevertheless, illegal migration to the United States continues to rise, worsening an already difficult situation. In addition, President Biden has been under significant pressure from progressives regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestine, which, according to sources, prompted the decision to airdrop aid to Gaza. These combined pressures show a Presidency that has yet to secure a clear direction on its foreign and domestic policy objectives. The long-term effect of recent events is uncertain, but they highlight the significant challenges facing President Biden’s administration.
