China hasn’t formally signed the chip and aircraft deals
On May 15, 2026, Nvidia and Boeing shares fell sharply despite Trump’s Beijing summit headlines announcing a potential 200-plane Boeing order and H200 chip clearance for Nvidia. Nvidia slid 3.83% and Boeing 2.86%, while the PHLX Semiconductor Index dropped 3.55%. The catch: Beijing never formally confirmed the Boeing order, and Nvidia’s H200 export clearance lacks Chinese approval. Investors had priced in a more certain, larger deal, so the gap between announcement and confirmation triggered “buy the rumor, sell the news” selling.
- Nvidia shares fell 3.83% to $226.72 on May 15, 2026
- Boeing shares dropped 2.86% to $222.65 after summit headlines
- PHLX Semiconductor Index sank 3.55% in the session, worst in weeks
- Boeing 200-plane order was not formally confirmed by Beijing
- Nvidia H200 export clearance lacks Chinese acceptance or approval
