Paramount Launches Hostile Bid for Warner Bros, Nvidia’s H200 Chip Approval | The Opening Trade 12/9

Paramount Skydance has made a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery, backed by banks, billionaires, and sovereign-wealth funds, to torpedo Netflix’s deal.

President Donald Trump granted Nvidia Corp. permission to ship its H200 artificial intelligence chip to China in exchange for a 25% surcharge, a move that lets the world’s most valuable company potentially regain billions of dollars in lost business from a key global market.

The Opening Trade has everything you need to know as markets open across Europe. With analysis you won’t find anywhere else, we break down the biggest stories of the day and speak to top guests who have skin in the game. Hosted by Anna Edwards and Guy Johnson.
