Nvidia modifies H20 chip for China to overcome US export controls, sources say

BEIJING (Reuters) -Nvidia plans to release a downgraded version of its H20 artificial intelligence chip for China in the next two months, following U.S. export restrictions on the original model, three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. The U.S. chipmaker has notified major Chinese customers, including leading cloud computing providers, that it aims to release the modified H20 chip in July, two of the sources said. The downgraded H20 represents Nvidia's latest attempt to maintain its presence in one of its most crucial markets in the face of Washington's expanding efforts to restrict China's access to advanced semiconductor technology.

Citgo posts $82 million loss in Q1 amid weak margins

Venezuela-owned refiner Citgo Petroleum registered an $82 million net loss in the first quarter, compared with a net income of $410 million in the same period last year, amid weak refining margins, the Houston-based company said on Thursday.

Average throughput of the seventh largest U.S. oil refiner in the first quarter was 833,000 barrels per day (bpd), of which crude runs were 768,000 bpd for an overall crude utilization of 95%, below the 98% registered in the previous quarter.

OPEC April oil output edges lower despite plans for hike, survey finds

OPEC April oil output edges lower despite plans for hike, survey finds

LONDON (Reuters) -OPEC oil output edged lower in April despite a scheduled output hike taking effect, a Reuters survey found, led by a cut in Venezuelan supply on renewed U.S. attempts to curb the flows and smaller drops in Iraq and Libya. The reduction comes despite OPEC+, which comprises OPEC and its allies including Russia, beginning in April to unwind its most recent layer of output cuts. The full extent of the rises will depend partly on the impact of attempts by U.S. President Donald Trump to clamp down on supply from Iran and Venezuela.
