U.S. chip-maker Nvidia led a rout in tech stocks after the emergence of a low-cost Chinese generative AI model that could threaten American dominance in the fast-growing industry.

U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a 75-day pause on enforcing a law that would effectively ban TikTok in the U.S., as he floated an idea of partnering with the app's Chinese owner.
