The Week in Numbers: what goes up, can come down

STORY: From a costly courtroom defeat for the NFL, to Nvidia discovering its shares can actually go down, this is the Week in Numbers.

:: $4.7 billion

Over $4.7 billion is the damages the NFL must pay after losing an antitrust suit over its ‘Sunday Ticket’ telecasts.

A U.S. federal jury backed plaintiffs who said the league conspired to inflate prices.

The NFL said it would contest the verdict, calling the case “baseless”.

:: 161

Around 161 to the dollar was the 38-year low hit by the Japanese yen.

It’s been battered by the yawning gap between U.S. and Japanese interest rates.

With no signs of that gap closing, many traders were betting Tokyo would step in to prop up the currency.

:: $430 billion

About $430 billion was the value wiped off Nvidia after its shares plunged.

Analysts put it down to investors taking profits after breathtaking gains, and the stock soon recovered some ground.

UBS Private Wealth Management MD Rod von Lipsey is among those staying bullish:

"We continue to believe that the enabling segment of AI - those are the power suppliers, those are the semiconductors, those are the cloud based companies - that those companies are still going to have incredible support.”

:: $2 trillion

$2 trillion was the market value hit by Amazon.

It’s the latest Big Tech name to get a boost from AI fever.

Microsoft, Apple, Nvidia and Alphabet are still more valuable.

:: 37%

And up to 37% was the surge in shares for Rivian after Volkswagen said it was investing as much as $5 billion in the EV maker.

In return, the German giant gets access to the startup’s technology.
