Nvidia shares fell after chief executive Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday, and the company is searching for a permanent replacement. Coverage gives different reasons for the exit, citing scrutiny over two extramarital affairs and national security probes. Bloomberg reported the stock was on track for its worst week in more than 18 months, and other reports describe a sixth straight week of declines. Chinese AI stocks also slid as investors weighed tighter US restrictions on Nvidia chip sales to China. Reports describe Huang as a leading voice for selling chips to China and a champion of start-up investments.
