PANews reported on October 17th that initial jobless claims in the United States declined last week, based on analysis of unadjusted state-level claims data released during the US government shutdown. A Bloomberg analysis of the data indicates that initial claims were approximately 215,000 for the week ending October 11, down from an estimate of 234,000 the previous week. While the US Department of Labor has not released a weekly unemployment report since September 25th due to the government shutdown, it still provides downloadable data for most states. This estimate uses the Bureau of Labor Statistics' weekly seasonal adjustment coefficients, which are released in advance. This method closely matches the official seasonally adjusted data when data from all states is available. However, since the latest weekly data for Arizona, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Tennessee are missing, the average of the previous four weeks is used instead. Continuing claims rose slightly to 1.93 million in the week ending October 4th, higher than the 1.92 million estimated the previous week.PANews reported on October 17th that initial jobless claims in the United States declined last week, based on analysis of unadjusted state-level claims data released during the US government shutdown.

China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise
The post China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China Blocks Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D as Local Chips Rise China’s internet regulator has ordered the country’s biggest technology firms, including Alibaba and ByteDance, to stop purchasing Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D GPUs. According to the Financial Times, the move shuts down the last major channel for mass supplies of American chips to the Chinese market. Why Beijing Halted Nvidia Purchases Chinese companies had planned to buy tens of thousands of RTX Pro 6000D accelerators and had already begun testing them in servers. But regulators intervened, halting the purchases and signaling stricter controls than earlier measures placed on Nvidia’s H20 chip. Image: Nvidia An audit compared Huawei and Cambricon processors, along with chips developed by Alibaba and Baidu, against Nvidia’s export-approved products. Regulators concluded that Chinese chips had reached performance levels comparable to the restricted U.S. models. This assessment pushed authorities to advise firms to rely more heavily on domestic processors, further tightening Nvidia’s already limited position in China. China’s Drive Toward Tech Independence The decision highlights Beijing’s focus on import substitution — developing self-sufficient chip production to reduce reliance on U.S. supplies. “The signal is now clear: all attention is focused on building a domestic ecosystem,” said a representative of a leading Chinese tech company. Nvidia had unveiled the RTX Pro 6000D in July 2025 during CEO Jensen Huang’s visit to Beijing, in an attempt to keep a foothold in China after Washington restricted exports of its most advanced chips. But momentum is shifting. Industry sources told the Financial Times that Chinese manufacturers plan to triple AI chip production next year to meet growing demand. They believe “domestic supply will now be sufficient without Nvidia.” What It Means for the Future With Huawei, Cambricon, Alibaba, and Baidu stepping up, China is positioning itself for long-term technological independence. Nvidia, meanwhile, faces…
