Justin Sullivan | Getty ImagesAsian semiconductor-related stocks mostly slumped on Thursday after Nvidia reported an earnings forecast that failed to meet the lofty expectations of some investors. The sentiment has spilled over to Asia, with stocks tied to Nvidia suppliers as well as other chip companies mostly falling. Selloff in AsiaSemiconductor testing equipment supplier Advantest , which counts Nvidia among its clients, dropped as much as 5.6% on Thursday, the largest chip loser on Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp , which manufacturers Nvidia's high-performance graphics processing units, slipped as much as 1.5%. The company has been a key supplier to Nvidia and is building the world's largest manufacturing facility in Mexico for assembling Nvidia's GB200 superchips, a key component of its next-generation Blackwell family computing platform.

The binding contract — after a preliminary agreement announced in April — is the first major award to be completed under the $52.7 billion program created in 2022. In April, TSMC agreed to expand its planned investment by $25 billion to $65 billion and to add a third Arizona fab by 2030. TSMC also agreed to use its most advanced chip manufacturing technology called "A16" in Arizona.

In the race against the US for global tech supremacy, China has the upper hand in at least one critical area: rare earths. AdvertisementFor more than a year, Beijing has slowly been tightening its grip on critical minerals and rare earths. Now, there are fears that China could tighten the global rare earths supply chain even more. China's rare earth dominanceChina has long dominated the rare earths market due to supply, low labor costs, and lax environmental standards. In 2022, the US Department of Defense awarded $45 million to MP Materials for rare earth oxide processing, and in 2023, it awarded over $288 million to Lynas USA to set up commercial-scale rare earth oxide production facilities.

The Japanese government has unlocked billions of dollars in subsidies for its domestic chip sector. One likely beneficiary of the funding announced Monday will be Japan-based Rapidus, a state-backed chip venture at the heart of the country's chip revitalization efforts. In the 1980s, Japan was the world's dominant chip player and occupied more than half of the global semiconductor market. Through its chip subsidies, which have mostly been geared toward increasing manufacturing capacity, the country should be able to expand into other aspects of the supply and enhance its position, Yang added.

☆ White House races to dole out funding from key legislation before Trump takes office

CNN —The White House is racing to dole out remaining funds appropriated from key legislation President Joe Biden signed before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in 10 weeks. The implementation efforts reflect one slice of how the Biden administration is working to shore up key initiatives as the second Trump presidency approaches. Speaking to reporters on Monday, the first official day at COP29, Podesta said the Biden administration is “fully committed” to obligating outstanding funding under Biden’s climate law, the Inflation Reduction Act. About $103 billion in Inflation Reduction Act funding, which makes up 92% of the law’s total, has been announced as of late October. While Trump has criticized the CHIPS legislation as “so bad,” it has enjoyed bipartisan support because the plans could create jobs and infuse money into local communities.

At a high level, generative AI is a cutting-edge form of technology that will shape the next decade and beyond. While the AI field has been around for decades, generative AI applications can create new content, including computer code, human-like text and images, in response to user prompts.

Wall Street is questioning how potential tariffs on imports under a Trump administration could affect artificial intelligence darling Nvidia and the broader industry . Earlier this year, Trump accused Taiwan of stealing the chipmaking business from the U.S. and said he would impose tariffs as president. NVDA 5D mountain Shares over the last week If the administration implements tariffs, Ives believes Nvidia could gain some workaround given its integral status. That could come in the form of excluding some of its next AI chips and graphics processing units from the tariff wave expected in spring 2025.
