Nvidia was falling early Friday as politicians and Big Tech firms comment on the effects of Chinese firm DeepSeek’s apparently low-cost AI.

While the demand is there, it's clear that's not the sole reason why Nvidia's RTX 50 series is impossible to find in stores. Many retailers received fairly low stock quantities, as Nvidia reportedly experienced manufacturing issues.

A combination of these factors has led to the value of Nvidia stock plummeting on Monday (January 27). Forbes reports that Nvidia has seen the “single greatest one-day value wipe-out” of any company in Wall Street history. It lost almost $600bn (approximately £480bn) as its shares plunged 17% by close.
