Nvidia shares were under pressure in the pre-market trade on Monday after China accused the chipmaker of violating the country's anti-monopoly laws. The Antitrust Authority said it would step up scrutiny of the world's leading chipmaker, escalating tensions with Washington as the two countries hold trade talks this week in Spain.
Chinese regulators said a preliminary investigation found that Nvidia didn't comply with conditions imposed when it purchased Mellanox Technologies, a network and data transmission company.
