Nvidia Shares Climb as Amazon Boosts AI Infrastructure Capex Forecast

Key Facts

1Nvidia stock rose after Amazon increased its capital expenditure forecast for AI infrastructure.
2Amazon played down competition between its custom AI chips and Nvidia's processors.

Reflecting the sustained demand for AI-related hardware, Nvidia shares rose after Amazon increased its capital expenditure forecast for AI infrastructure. According to reports, the stock's gain followed Amazon's signals regarding long-term demand for processors and the company's efforts to downplay competition between its custom-designed AI chips and Nvidia’s market-leading hardware.

This development provides a positive read-through for the semiconductor sector, with Nvidia priced at $195.04 (close July 30, 2026) per market data. In the peer group, INTC closed at $91.13 while TSM stood at $403.31 on the same date, highlighting varied trading levels across the industry as cloud providers like Amazon, which closed at $235.5, ramp up infrastructure spending.

Traders should watch Nvidia's support levels near the July 30, 2026 low of $191.52, with $197.25 acting as immediate resistance. Following the Fed's decision to hold interest rates at 3.75% on July 29, the market focus remains on how broader economic conditions will influence corporate technology expansion plans.
