Nasdaq 100 dips 0.45% but outperforms; NVDA gains 2.95% on AI chip demand

The Nasdaq 100 slipped 0.45% for the week, outperforming the S&P 500's 1.07% drop and a sharp selloff in gold and bitcoin. NVIDIA added 2.95% on the session as AI chip demand narratives from South Korea and Taiwan supply chain drills offset macro pressure. A Tennessee politician disclosed sales across six mega-cap tech names, though amounts were small. Next week's Micron AI outlook and May core PCE print will test the AI trade's resilience.
