TradingKey – Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) closed Friday, November 6, at $186.64, up 2.78%. The weekend changed what traders face on Monday. Nvidia’s board opened an independent inquiry into reports that a foreign intelligence effort targeted CEO Jensen Huang. Shares traded around $180.30 outside regular hours, according to Reuters, bringing $177.92 support into play.

The November 17 earnings report gives shareholders a separate test. Nvidia has committed billions of dollars to secure components. How quickly customers can install those systems and pay for them matters even if orders keep growing.
