Nvidia falls about 3% in after-hours and perpetual futures trade

What happened

Nvidia said it was investigating whether CEO Jensen Huang had been targeted in a foreign intelligence effort. On Monday, Nvidia-linked perpetual futures, which are contracts that track a share price, and after-hours trading showed prices around $180.30, about 3.4% below Friday’s Nasdaq close of $186.64.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The reported decline links concern about a possible threat involving Nvidia’s chief executive to weaker trading in instruments tracking its shares. If that concern persists, a lower share price could affect investor positioning and the value investors assign to Nvidia, though the article reports no change to its business or finances.

Analyst inference

The move was reported in perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and after-hours trading through the Blue Ocean system, not as a stated regular-session Nasdaq result. The comparison is with Friday’s Nasdaq closing price, so it describes a specific out-of-hours snapshot rather than a full-day move.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Watch for Nvidia’s findings on whether Huang was targeted; the article says the company is investigating but gives no conclusion or timing for an update. Analyst inference
2. Compare later after-hours and perpetual-futures prices with regular Nasdaq trading to see whether the reported gap persists or narrows. Analyst inference
3. Watch whether prices on Hyperliquid and Blue Ocean move closer together or diverge further; the article reports both near $180.30, down about 3.4% from Friday’s Nasdaq close. Analyst inference
