US officials slowed the issuing of licenses to chipmakers such as Nvidia Corp. and Advanced Micro Devices Inc. for large-scale AI accelerator shipments to the Middle East, according to people familiar with the matter. In late hours, Dell Technologies Inc. sank as its revenue increase failed to impress investors.

With markets expecting the core PCE measure to rise 0.3% in April from a month ago, anything less “could weigh on the US dollar modestly,” said Kristina Clifton, a senior economist and strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney.The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was little changedThe offshore yuan was little changed at 7.
