EUROPEAN OPEN: European equities start mixed, following the mixed tone overnight in APAC trade; the KOSPI saw sharp downside before paring losses, as chip sector valuations faced scrutiny after a blistering rally. In the European morning, TSMC (TSM) reported solid results, and sees strong demand ahead (see below). Crude futures are trading softer, with Brent beneath USD 85/bbl, erasing earlier gains from US strikes on Iran. CENTCOM launched fresh strikes on Iran targeting missile storage and launch sites on Greater Tunb Island, followed by a subsequent wave hitting air defence sites, missile and drone facilities and coastal surveillance installations. CENTCOM also said it struck the unladen, US-sanctioned super tanker Belma near Iran’s Kharg Island after it allegedly ignored warnings and violated a renewed shipping blockade. The attack was the first on a vessel since the blockade was reimposed. Japanese FinMin Katayama reiterated her intention to pursue measures encouraging GPIF to inv
AI 시장 분석
TSMC reported earnings that exceeded market expectations, driven by robust AI infrastructure demand, boosting optimism in the semiconductor sector. Conversely, the oil market remains weak, with Brent crude falling below $85 despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Investors should maintain confidence in AI-related stocks following TSMC's strong performance while closely monitoring oil price volatility due to shifts in Middle Eastern affairs.
상승 영향
- Semiconductors — TSMC's results beat market forecasts due to surging AI infrastructure demand. This validates the strength of the global semiconductor market and is expected to drive stock price appreciation for related equipment and materials companies.
하락 영향
- Crude Oil — Brent crude fell below $85 despite Middle Eastern geopolitical tensions. This indicates that concerns over global economic slowdown are outweighing supply fears in the market.
DYAX 전담 분석
TSMC's strong performance serves as a bellwether for the semiconductor industry, confirming that AI-driven capital expenditure remains a core growth driver. The decoupling of oil prices from Middle Eastern geopolitical risk suggests that market sentiment is currently dominated by concerns over global economic deceleration rather than immediate supply disruptions. Moving forward, the focus will be on whether semiconductor demand can sustain this momentum and if oil markets remain suppressed by demand-side anxieties.
