Taiwan Semiconductor Expands in Japan: Sony and Denso Among First Customers

Wall Street inched marginally higher during Wednesday morning trading in New York, with traders remaining on edge ahead of the eagerly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. ET, followed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s press conference <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42554114/all-eyes-on-december-fed-meeting-as-traders-await-interest-rate-projections">at 2:30 p.m. ET.</a>
The Fed is widely expected to reduce interest rates by 25 basis points to a target range of 4.25%-4.50%. Yet, the market&#8217;s reaction is likely to hinge on the updated economic projections and Powell&#8217;s commentary on future policy direction.
The semiconductor sector rebounded strongly, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) climbing 0.9% after a 1.6% dip on Tuesday. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) surged 3.6%, on track to mark its best single-day gain in a month and to snap a four-day losing streak. The jump followed Nvidia&#8217;s announcement of a new $249 Jetson computer for AI applications, significantly cheaper than its predecessor priced at $499.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar edged 0.2% higher, with the DXY index breaking above 107, its highest level in three weeks. Treasury yields were steady, with the 10-year yield holding at 4.40% as traders awaited the Fed&#8217;s decision.
Commodities presented a mixed picture: gold slipped 0.4%, while WTI crude gained 1.2%, supported by a larger-than-expected drawdown in U.S. crude inventories.
The cryptocurrency market took a breather after recent strong gains, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 1.8%, trading below the $105,000 mark.

Stocks Inch Up Ahead Of Fed Decision, Nvidia Set To Snap Four Straight Losses, Bitcoin Slips: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

As markets brace for the Federal Reserve's final policy meeting of the year, scheduled at 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, Goldman Sachs highlighted 20 exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have historically shown outsized <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">moves around Fed decision days</a>.
While a 25-basis-point rate cut to a target range of 4.25%-4.50% is widely anticipated, the market's focus is on the Fed's forward guidance, particularly the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and the updated &#8220;dot plot.&#8221;
Following December's expected cut, Goldman Sachs projects a more measured pace of easing next year, forecasting rate cuts in March, June, and September, with the terminal rate seen at 3.50%-3.75%.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Dynamics Around Fed Days</h3>
U.S. equity markets have displayed strong short-term gains during Fed meeting weeks in 2024. 
Investors employing a simple strategy of buying the S&amp;P 500 index at market close before a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announcement and selling at close the following day have captured median returns of 1.1% across the past seven meetings.
Yet those extending the trade horizon to 15 sessions post-Fed meeting have enjoyed significantly larger average gains of 3.29%, more than double the short-term returns. Notably, every Fed meeting this year has resulted in positive 15-day returns.
"We observe that U.S. banking ETFs, such as SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBE#NYSE">KBE</a>) and SPDR S&amp;P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KRE#NYSE">KRE</a>), have seen unusually large moves on FOMC days since 2022" Goldman analysts wrote in a recent note.
For bond-focused investors, the report highlights consistent post-meeting gains in high-yield and investment-grade ETFs like iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYG#NYSE">HYG</a>) and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LQD#NYSE">LQD</a>).
Meanwhile, energy-focused ETFs, such as the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), have seen negative reactions. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs Showing Heightened Fed-Day Moves</h3>

20 ETFs Primed For Unusually Big Swings On Fed Meeting Days

The stock market edged lower by midday Tuesday as investors treaded cautiously ahead of the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/12/42514008/fed-poised-to-cut-interest-rates-by-0-25-this-week-heres-why-your-focus-should-shift-to-other-signals">decision scheduled for Wednesday.</a>
Although a rate cut appeared widely priced in—with Fed Funds futures assigning a 96% probability—investors are fully focused on the Fed's forward guidance and Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s remarks, particularly in light of recent robust economic data.
November's retail sales data showed an unexpected rebound, rising 0.7% month-over-month, surpassing expectations of 0.5%. On an annual basis, sales climbed 3.8%, the fastest pace since December 2023, driven by strong auto sales growth.
Semiconductor stocks led the downturn amid renewed geopolitical tensions following reports that China is broadening antitrust scrutiny on U.S. chipmakers&#8217; acquisitions in recent years. Last week, Beijing launched an investigation into Nvidia Corp.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) 2019 acquisition of Mellanox Technologies.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) declined 1.5%, weighed down by sharp losses in major chip stocks. Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) dropped over 5%, while Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) plunged over 8%.
By midday, the major U.S. indices were in negative territory. The S&amp;P 500 slipped 0.4%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.6%, and the Nasdaq 100 declined 0.4%.
Both the U.S. dollar and Treasury yields remained steady, reflecting cautious positioning by institutional investors.
In commodities, gold dipped 0.3%, while natural gas and oil prices fell 2% and 1%, respectively, signaling continued weakness in the energy sector.
Cryptocurrencies continued to outperform. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 1.3% to surpass $107,000, reaching a market capitalization of $2.13 trillion. The total cryptocurrency market value rose to $3.68 trillion, a new record high.

Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya identified ON Semiconductor among his top picks for 2025, projecting a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/12/42516826/nvidia-and-5-other-stocks-are-analysts-top-semiconductor-picks-for-2025-sees-2-ai-trends" rel="noreferrer noopener">recovery from cyclical trends</a>. He expects the automotive and industrial sectors to drive significant semiconductor demand in the latter half of the year.
Arya anticipates that in the first half of 2025, investments in artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to surge, driven by AI training and model scaling. He notes that cloud customers will likely accelerate the deployment of Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell architecture during this period.
Regarding the CHIPS Act, Arya expects the legislation, enacted under President Joe Biden, to remain in effect following President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s inauguration. He projects that the remaining funding will be distributed in 2025, substantially supporting the U.S. semiconductor industry.
After ON Semiconductor&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41603256/on-semiconductors-q3-solid-analyst-highlight-l-shaped-recovery" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter print</a>, Needham analyst Quinn Bolton projected an L-shaped recovery for the company through the first half of 2025. Datacenter opportunities will gain traction as key design wins ramp up next year.
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari, Benchmark analyst David Williams, and JP Morgan analyst Harlan Sur flagged China&#8217;s EV market strength and silicon carbide (SiC) growth.
Investors can gain exposure to stocks of companies that manufacture semiconductors through the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>).

ON Semiconductor and Denso Team Up to Boost Self-Driving Tech

The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) had a rocky year. While semiconductors at large posted historic gains through 2024&#8217;s first half, they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40754938/semiconductor-etfs-take-a-beating-dragged-lower-by-nvidia-amd-and-broadcom-stocks">erased much of their gains</a> in the late summer and fall. One industry analyst is optimistic about the industry&#8217;s prospects in 2025.
The Semiconductor Analyst: Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya named six of his top semiconductor picks for 2025:
<ul>
<li>NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) with a price target of $190.</li>
<li>Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) with a price target of $250.</li>
<li>Marvell Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) with a price target of $140.</li>
<li>Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) with a price target of $92.</li>
<li>ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>) with a price target of $90.</li>
<li>Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) with a price target of $365.</li>
</ul>
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/12/42511580/microchip-technology-faces-multiple-headwinds-heading-into-2025-turns-analyst-bearish">analyst also downgraded</a> Microchip Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>).
The AI Boom: Arya cited Nvidia, Broadcom and Marvell as the leaders in AI. He says Lam Research&#8217;s capital expenditures will recover in 2025 along with the reduction of China headwinds. The analyst also thinks ON Semiconductor will recover from cyclical trends while Cadence Design will benefit from its resiliency.
The analyst sees the semiconductor industry&#8217;s upcycle lasting into 2025. He noted that past bullish cycles have lasted, on average, roughly 10 quarters, while current bullishness has only lasted five quarters.
Arya sees two major trends affecting the industry in 2025.
&#8220;In the first half, we expect the AI investments driven by AI training and scaling of models to continue, doubling down on the Nvidia Blackwell deployment ramps driven by cloud customers,&#8221; the analyst said. &#8220;At the same time, we expect trends for non-AI end markets to remain weak throughout 1H.&#8221;
Arya expects the CHIPS Act, enacted under President Joe Biden, to remain in place following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. He expects all remaining funding to be dispensed in 2025.
The analyst sees the automotive and industrial industries as fueling semiconductor demand in the year&#8217;s second half.
&#8220;In the second half, we expect a pickup in auto/industrial semis as customer/channel inventories normalize (replenishment + easy comps), as well as a pickup in global auto production,&#8221; Arya said.
The analyst projected electric vehicle sales to reaccelerate 29% year-over-year.

Taiwan Semi November Revenue Ups 34% Strengthened by AI and Smartphone Demand

Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) surged over 5% on Friday, marking its strongest one-day rally in three months and significantly outperforming the broader semiconductor sector as the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) posted a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductor">modest gain of 0.6%. </a>
The semiconductor giant announced on Thursday its cutting-edge 3.5D eXtreme Dimension System in Package (XDSiP) platform technology. 
This breakthrough positions Broadcom as a leader in enabling next-generation custom accelerators (XPUs) for artificial intelligence applications. 
By integrating over 6,000 mm² of silicon and up to 12 high-bandwidth memory (HBM) stacks into a single device, the 3.5D XDSiP achieves high-efficiency, low-power computing designed to meet the demands of large-scale AI systems. The technology also marks the industry debut of Face-to-Face (F2F) 3.5D XPU, a significant milestone in semiconductor packaging.
&#8220;3.5D integration, which combines 3D silicon stacking with 2.5D packaging, is poised to become the technology of choice for next-generation XPUs in the coming decade,&#8221; the company stated. 
Yet, other than investor enthusiasm driven by both technological innovation, Broadcom's sharp rally also stands out as a sign of favorable seasonal trends.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Broadcom Historically Surged In December</h1>
Beyond the innovation buzz, historical data suggests Broadcom could be gearing up for a strong finish to the year.
Over the past 15 years, the period between Dec. 6 and Dec. 31 has proven highly favorable for the stock. 
Broadcom delivered positive returns in 12 of those 15 years, with an average gain of 8.4% during this stretch, as data from Seasonax platform shows. 
The most remarkable performance occurred in 2020 when the stock skyrocketed 20.7% in the same timeframe. Only three times — 2011, 2012, and 2015 — did Broadcom post losses in this period.
Investors appear to be eyeing a repeat of Broadcom's historical outperformance, particularly as AI-driven innovation and seasonal tailwinds build a compelling narrative for further gains. 
With December already off to a strong start, momentum could carry Broadcom higher as the year-end rally takes shape.

Broadcom Notches Strongest Session In 3 Months: Why Seasonal Trends May Bolster Year-End Gains

SinoPac Financial Holdings chief economist Jack Huang expects chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) to grow its business by 20% in 2025. 
What Happened: Huang <a href="https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/biz/archives/2024/12/06/2003828030" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> Wednesday that Taiwan Semiconductor could also be pivotal to an expected Taiex rally in the first half of 2025.
Taiex is the benchmark weighted index on the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE).
Taiwan Semiconductor will continue to capitalize on the demand frenzy for electronics used in artificial intelligence (AI) applications, leading to the surge in the Taiwanese stock index.

Huang told the Taipei Times that he expects a 2025 GDP growth of 2.96% for Taiwan, factoring in global economic uncertainties as US President-elect Donald Trump takes charge and implements the tariffs.
Sharon Lin of SinoPac Securities shares a similar sentiment, expecting tariffs to fuel inflation and dampen the chances of a US Fed rate cut in 2025.

Chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Should See Business Grow 20% Fueled By AI Demand: Analyst

Microchip Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCHP#NASDAQ">MCHP</a>) halted its application for U.S. semiconductor grants, Bloomberg <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-03/microchip-pauses-chips-act-application-after-scaling-back-plans?srnd=phx-technology&amp;sref=TBDibEcD" rel="noreferrer noopener">cited</a> chief Steve Sanghi at a UBS conference Tuesday.
The chipmaker was a contender for $162 million in grants from the Chips Act.
Microchip stock plunged 29% year-to-date, emerging as one of the dampeners in the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Semiconductor Index.

Multiple Wall Street analysts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MCHP/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">slashed their price targets</a> on the stock in November and December after its second quarterly print failed to impress the Street. Then CEO Ganesh Moorthy highlighted macro weakness for manufacturing businesses, including European Industrial and Automotive businesses.
The struggling chipmaker had to downsize its workforce twice at facilities in Oregon.
Earlier this week, Microchip slashed its third-quarter revenue guidance and announced restructuring plans, including closing its Tempe, Arizona, wafer fabrication facility, which will affect 500 workers.
Sanghi expects its December 2024 revenue to be close to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/guidance/24/12/42291157/microchip-slashes-q3-revenue-guidance-issues-restructuring-plan" rel="noreferrer noopener">low end of $1.025 billion</a> (down from the prior outlook of $1.025 billion-$1.095 billion) versus the analyst consensus of $1.090 billion due to slower turn orders than anticipated.
Sanghi cited high inventory levels and overcapacity as the reason for the facility&#8217;s shutdown, which could generate annual cash savings of $90 million.
He justified withdrawing from the U.S. subsidies, citing their minuscule contribution to factory costs and the commercial sense behind the facility&#8217;s construction.
Microchip&#8217;s downward guidance revision followed the U.S.&#8217;s third semiconductor embargo on China, which affected advanced chip equipment manufacturers. China retaliated by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42303132/china-retaliates-against-us-chip-sanctions-tightens-mineral-exports" rel="noreferrer noopener">exercising tighter controls</a> on the export of critical minerals used in&nbsp;advanced chip manufacturing, including gallium, germanium, and antimony.
Investors can gain exposure to Microchip through iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) and First Trust Nasdaq Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FTXL#NASDAQ">FTXL</a>).
Price Action: MCHP stock is down 3.38% at $59.56 at the last check on Thursday.

US Stocks To Edge Lower After Thanksgiving As Investors Await Data: Analyst Expects A Santa Rally Thanks To 'Goldilocks Foundation' For Big Tech And Tesla Going Into 2025

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed some improvement in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled higher on Friday, with the Dow Jones and S&amp;P 500 surging to fresh highs during the shortened trading session.
The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) gained 1.3% on Friday, with Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares adding more than 2% during the session.
The Dow gained 1.4% last week, recording a gain of 7.5% for November. The S&amp;P 500 gained 1.1% on the week, surging by more than 5% last month. The Dow and S&amp;P 500 recorded their best months of the year.
The stock market was closed on Thursday for the Thanksgiving holiday and closed early at 1 p.m. ET on Friday.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with information technology, materials, and consumer discretionary stocks recording the biggest gains on Friday. However, real estate and utilities stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.
The Dow Jones closed higher by around 189 points to 44,910.65 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.56% to 6,032.38, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.83% to close at 19,218.17 during Friday's session.

What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 66.1, the index remained in the &#8220;Greed&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 63.7.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Additionally, the U.S. embargo will focus on Chinese companies that make semiconductor manufacturing equipment instead of the fabrication facilities following protests from&nbsp;Lam Research Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>),&nbsp;Applied Materials Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>), and&nbsp;KLA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KLAC#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>) as the move will enable the U.S. companies to maintain their edge versus international rivals like ASML Holding N.V.

The U.S. could announce the fresh semiconductor sanctions by next week, according to Bloomberg, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-28/us-readies-china-chip-curbs-that-stop-short-of-earlier-proposals?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing</a> sources familiar with the issue.
The fresh restrictions will follow months of negotiations between the U.S. government, allies like Japan and the Netherlands, and American chip equipment makers. The U.S. chip companies, including Nvidia and rivals, had previously urged the government to relax its embargo against China, a key semiconductor market.
Therefore, the U.S. expects to impose restrictions on fewer Huawei Technologies Co suppliers and restrict only&nbsp;two chip factories of Huawei partner&nbsp;Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp.
However, the new restrictions will affect <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40198085/huawei-and-baidu-increase-samsung-hbm-purchases-as-us-curbs-loom" rel="noreferrer noopener">high-bandwidth memory chip</a> companies like &nbsp;Samsung Electronics Co (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>),&nbsp;SK Hynix Inc, and&nbsp;Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).
The disruption of the semiconductor supply chain caused by the 2020 pandemic in China prompted global countries to consolidate their semiconductor bases and reduce their dependence on China. The U.S. and other countries started luring contract chipmakers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and Intel Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) with subsidies to manufacture advanced artificial intelligence chips in their U.S. facilities while insisting ally countries like the Netherlands and Japan to impose similar sanctions on China.

Nvidia, Chip Stocks Gain On Reports Of Softer China Sanctions

Global chip stocks and ETFs experienced a notable surge following reports that U.S. officials are contemplating easing restrictions on sales to China. This development could lead to significant changes in the semiconductor industry as early as next week.
What Happened: Shares of global chip companies rose on Thursday after reports surfaced that U.S. officials might ease&nbsp;restrictions on sales to China.&nbsp;The potential changes could be announced as early as next week.
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Chip ETFs reacted positively as well:&nbsp;Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X&nbsp;Shares&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>), which holds over 8% in Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>), Broadcom Limited (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), rose 2.67%,&nbsp;iShares Semiconductor ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) increased by 1.03%, and&nbsp;VanEck Semiconductor ETF&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) climbed 0.90%.
The deliberations have involved U.S. officials,&nbsp;allies in Japan and the&nbsp;Netherlands, and American chip equipment manufacturers. These manufacturers have lobbied against stricter measures, warning of severe impacts on their businesses. The latest proposal differs from earlier versions, particularly regarding which Chinese companies might be added&nbsp;to a trade restriction list.
Previously, the U.S.&nbsp;considered sanctioning six suppliers to&nbsp;Huawei Technologies Co., a key player in China&#8217;s tech sector. However, the current plan may only include some of these suppliers, notably excluding&nbsp;ChangXin Memory Technologies Inc., which is developing AI memory chip technology.

Why It Matters: The potential easing of U.S. restrictions on China comes amid a backdrop of complex geopolitical tensions and trade policies. Recently,&nbsp;Peter Thiel&nbsp;highlighted the severe impact a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">proposed 60% tariff</a> on Chinese goods could have on Beijing, suggesting a shift in manufacturing away from China. Additionally,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42089611/taiwan-semiconductor-faces-china-challenges-amid-potential-trump-return-and-geopolitical-tensions">Taiwan Semiconductor</a>&nbsp;faces challenges due to geopolitical tensions, with China focusing on enhancing its local chip production capabilities.
Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42216863/nvidia-intel-suppliers-rethink-mexico-operations-amid-trumps-tariff-threat">Nvidia and Intel</a>&nbsp;suppliers are reevaluating their manufacturing strategies in Mexico due to potential tariffs. These developments underscore the intricate dynamics at play in the semiconductor industry and the global supply chain.

Nvidia And Other Chip-Stock Linked ETFs Surge Amid Potential Easing Of US Restrictions On China

Global markets faced turbulence by midday Wednesday as an unwinding of yen-dollar carry trades drove sharp losses in U.S. equities, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 falling <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">1.2% in intraday trading.</a>
Rising expectations that the Bank of Japan may raise interest rates in December pushed the dollar-yen pair down by 1.5%, marking its steepest drop since late September. This triggered a wave of &#8220;risk-off&#8221; sentiment, pressuring major indices.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 0.5% by midday, on track to snap a seven-day winning streak, while small caps in the Russell 2000 remained relatively steady. Treasury yields fell significantly as fresh economic data failed to stoke concerns about an imminent change in the Federal Reserve's interest rate path.
The U.S. economy expanded at an annualized 2.8% in the third quarter, according to a second estimate that matched earlier print. October's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, the Fed&#8217;s preferred inflation gauge, also came in line with forecasts, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42220106/dollar-treasury-yields-stocks-fall-in-tandem-after-october-inflation-uptick">showing a modest uptick.</a>
Traders continue to bet on easier monetary policy, with Fed funds futures pricing in a 70% probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut at the Dec. 18 meeting.
In commodities market, gold inched up by 0.2%, while oil prices fell by 1% to $68 a barrel, heading for a three-day decline. Natural gas plummeted 7%, amid less cold weather forecasts reducing the outlook for heating demand.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies reversed their recent losing streak. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rallied nearly 5% to above $96,000, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) surged more than 7%, hitting price levels last seen in late June 2024.
