Leading the swing were Apple and Nvidia, both Silicon Valley giants with significant dealings in China, as shares of Apple went from as much as a 4% morning gain to a 2% daily loss by late afternoon, and Nvidia stock turned what was as much as a 3% gain to a 3% daily drop.

Nvidia crossed below its 200-day moving average this week for the first time since 2023. Analysts say the correction could deepen.

DeepSeek has launched an AI model that was reportedly developed with significantly less computational power than traditional methods. Shares of Nvidia are under pressure amid concerns that DeepSeek's methods may undermine demand for its high-performance GPUs.

Stocks rose Friday as Apple led a broad rally following a strong investor reaction to its quarterly earnings report and the market closes out a whirlwind week highlighted by Nvidia’s record-breaking losses in reaction to China’s DeepSeek cheaper AI model and a flurry of earnings reports.
