SoftBank''s Deal To Sell Arm To Nvidia In "Biggest Semiconductor Deal Ever" Killed By Regulators Here''s some more bad news for SoftBank: it''s planned deal to sell its Arm subsidiary to Nvidia - once billed as "the biggest semiconductor deal ever" - is falling apart as the two companies have failed to win approval from global regulators. While much has changed since the deal was struck in September 2020 (for one, a global supply crunch has restricted access to semiconductors, forcing governments to gather their ''strategic assets'' closely like a squirrel with its nuts), one important fact hasn''t: Following the bloodbath in US-traded tech stocks, SoftBank could really use the cash proceeds from the Arm deal to cover its other losses. It''s also a blow to the many bankers working on a deal that was valued at $40 billion back in September 2020. According to Bloomberg , news about the deal''s demise came out of the Nvidia camp; apparently, the company has been telling its own high-ranking employees that it doesn''t expect the deal to be consummated.
These semiconductor manufacturing equipment suppliers are likely to get a nice shot in the arm.

(Thursday Market Open) Equity index futures were relatively flat before the Producer Price Index (PPI) and jobless claims were reported. The PPI came in higher than expected at 8.3%; it had been projected to rise 8.0%. All-in-all, the PPI looked similar to Wednesday’s CPI, which means the new earnings season will likely focus on companies that are able to pass higher costs on to consumers without hurting sales growth. Jobless claims came in higher than expected at 230,000 instead of the forecasted 200,000; meanwhile, continuing claims were lower than expected. Equity index futures were little moved on the news but did turn slightly more positive while the 10-Year Treasury Yield (TNX) stayed around 0.93% higher in premarket trading. The Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard is expected to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday. Brainard is expected to reflect Chair Jerome Powell’s Tuesday testimony that the Fed will continue to focus on inflation.
