Arm Holdings&#8211;ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>), a subsidiary of&nbsp;SoftBank Group Corp.&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), has entered into a $250 million agreement with Malaysia to supply chip designs and technology for the next ten years.
What Happened: &#8220;We have always wanted to move from the back-end — which is on testing and assembly — to the front-end," Malaysian Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-03-05/softbank-s-arm-inks-landmark-chip-deal-with-malaysia-video">told</a> Bloomberg Television. The government has decided to work with Arm &#8220;with the perspective of building the whole ecosystem.&#8221;
Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Arm CEO Rene Haas signed a partnership agreement today.
The deal is a part of Malaysia&#8217;s ambitious strategy to shift from chip assembly to more lucrative semiconductor production. Currently, Malaysia packages about 10% of the world&#8217;s semiconductors. The country plans to use this deal to help local firms&nbsp;design their chips and&nbsp;aims to export semiconductors worth&nbsp;1.2 trillion ringgit ($270 billion)&nbsp;by 2030.
Although Malaysia is already a key center for chip testing and packaging with facilities for&nbsp;Intel Corp.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>),&nbsp;GlobalFoundries Inc., and&nbsp;Infineon Technologies AG&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFNNY#OTC">IFNNY</a>), it has yet to make significant strides in chip design.
Prime Minister Ibrahim told a local news portal, Selangor Journal that this partnership is key to their &#8220;Made in Malaysia&#8221; initiative. "This marks a fundamental shift in our approach to semiconductors and technology that will define our future,"&nbsp;affirmed Ibrahim. 
The country aims to establish up to 10 chip companies with a combined annual revenue of $20 billion through this partnership. The agreement could potentially increase the country&#8217;s GDP by one percentage point.

Why It Matters: This deal comes on the heels of Arm&#8217;s confirmation of its central role <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43521100/arm-confirms-central-role-in-100-billion-stargate-ai-infrastructure-project-with-openai-oracle">in the $100 billion Stargate AI </a>infrastructure project with OpenAI and Oracle Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORCL#NASDAQ">ORCL</a>) in February. The company&#8217;s expanding role in AI infrastructure and strong momentum in data center deployments further underscore its value to Malaysia&#8217;s semiconductor ambitions.
Malaysian PM Anwar Ibrahim also revealed that Arm will open its first Southeast Asian office in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, aiming to extend its reach into other regional markets, including Australia and New Zealand. 
CEO Rene Haas stated that the agreement was well-positioned for success. He credited Arm&#8217;s decision to collaborate with Malaysia to the country&#8217;s decades of experience in the semiconductor industry.

<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h4>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h4>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls.

The disruption of semiconductor supply chains during the onset of the COVID pandemic in China prompted countries to consolidate their semiconductor technology position instead of depending completely on the Asian nation.
The Taiwanese chipmaker collaborated with Infineon Technologies AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFNNF#OTC">IFNNF</a>) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFNNY#OTC">IFNNY</a>),&nbsp;NXP Semiconductors NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>) and&nbsp;Robert Bosch GmbH to construct the plant.
Prior reports indicated Taiwan Semiconductor&#8217;s plans to launch 28 nm or 22 nm planar CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) technology and 16 nm or 12 nm FinFET (fin field-effect transistor) processes.
Wu told the Taipei Times that the total trade between Taiwan and Germany in 2023 topped $22 billion.
Collaborations between Germany and Taiwan have gone beyond semiconductors, including imparting training to Dresden University of Technology students.
Taiwan Semiconductor stock gained 104% in the last 12 months, fueled by the artificial intelligence frenzy. The company&#8217;s geographical expansion in the US and Japan remains on track, demonstrating continued demand for AI technology as global hyperscalar invests in its AI ambitions.
However, the contract chipmaker remains susceptible to higher power demand as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41182945/whats-going-on-with-taiwan-semiconductor-stock-on-friday" rel="noreferrer noopener">it started commercializing</a> the 3 nm process.

On April 22, Anwar announced Malaysia&#8217;s plan to build Southeast Asia&#8217;s largest integrated circuit design park. The government will offer incentives such as tax breaks, subsidies, and visa exemption fees to attract global tech companies and investors.
The initiative aims to move beyond backend chip assembly and testing to high-value, front-end design work.
Malaysia is poised to benefit from Chinese chip companies seeking diversification outside of China for their assembly needs.
For instance, last September, China&#8217;s&nbsp;Xfusion&nbsp;partnered with Malaysia&#8217;s&nbsp;NationGate&nbsp;to produce GPU servers,&nbsp;crucial&nbsp;for data centers and AI applications.
Additionally, Shanghai-based&nbsp;StarFive&nbsp;is establishing a design center in Penang, while&nbsp;TongFu Microelectronics&nbsp;Co Ltd&nbsp;is expanding its Malaysian facility in collaboration with&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>).
Germany&#8217;s Infineon announced a €5 billion investment last August to expand its power chip plant in Malaysia.
Similarly,&nbsp;Intel&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) revealed plans in 2021 to construct a $7 billion advanced chip packaging facility in Malaysia, reinforcing the country&#8217;s position in the semiconductor industry.

Infineon and Amkor Deepen Partnership And Strengthen European Supply Chain For Semiconductor Solutions

The EV revolution forced the automotive industry to evolve. But even the EV king, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has woken up to a harsh reality of a cooling EV market, a problem that can&rsquo;t be fixed by lowering prices. On Wednesday, Tesla stock tumbled as Wells Fargo analyst labeled Tesla as a growth company that is not growing. But, this doesn&rsquo;t come as a surprise considering that Tesla itself guided for 2024 sales volume growth to be below levels seen over the previous years due to the macroeconomic backdrop and intensified competition. Fortunately, the EV narrative goes beyond Tesla itself.
With its latest news, innovative automotive accessory maker commited to providing clean energy solutions, Worksport (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wksp#NASDAQ">WKSP</a>)&nbsp;showed the importance&nbsp;embracing emerging technologies&nbsp;for&nbsp;unlocking&nbsp;new value&nbsp;that the industry desperately needs. Worksport recently announced it will be bringing its game-changing solar-powered duo, SOLIS tonneau cover and COR portable battery system to the market this summer. Today, Worksport showed how it aims to revolutionize the industry and push the boundaries of innovation.
Worksport aims to advance power electronics with gallium nitride semiconductors.
Worksport sees silicone-based semiconductors presently used by major chip manufactures such as NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nvda#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) as an opportunity to bring innovation in the automotive industry to the next level. The automotive accessory maker chose&nbsp;GaN-powered semionductors due to their potential&nbsp;to provide superior performance, increased efficiency,&nbsp;while&nbsp;reducing the&nbsp;size and weight compared to&nbsp;existing&nbsp;solutions, such as the ones offered by Nvidia.&nbsp;Also, with improved thermal management, GaN is able to withstand higher temperatures than silicone. Therefore, Workpsort is hoping to raise the bar for efficiency,&nbsp;performance, reliability and durability of energy solutions in the automotive sector.
With its recently announced partnership with Infineon Technologies AG (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTC">IFNNY</a>),&nbsp;a leading producer of GaN semiconductors, Worksport aims&nbsp;to push the boundaries of semiconductor innovation by integrating GaN into future versions of its COR&nbsp;mobile battery system.&nbsp;Infineon&nbsp;markets semiconductors for automotive,&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;industrial, and multimarket sectors.&nbsp;&nbsp;During the past&nbsp;financial year, Infineon&nbsp;reported&nbsp;record results. But due to a weakening macroeconomic backdrop on a global level, even Infineon&nbsp;adjusted its targets for&nbsp;the current year&nbsp;downwards.
Nvidia will also be hosting its&nbsp;GTC AI Conference next week, and therefore, it is expected to deliver&nbsp;AI innovation&nbsp;updates. Although Nvidia reached new heights thanks to its booming semiconductor business that is almost solely responsible for its growth, even Nvidia hinted that something even bigger is on the horizon. The industry has approached the theoretical limit of how much silicone-based technology can be improved. Embracing emerging technologies is the logical next step in bringing the industry to a new level.

Embracing Emerging Technologies To Bring The Automotive Industry To The Next Level

The European Central Bank (ECB) on Thursday held interest rates at 4%, signalling no policy action for the fourth-consecutive month and following in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/federal-reserve">Federal Reserve&#8217;s cautious footsteps</a>.
Like the Fed, there was no major shift towards dovishness in the following press conference, where ECB president Christine Lagarde said that current levels of policy were being maintained &#8220;for a sufficiently long duration&#8221; to bring inflation back down to its 2% target.
The central bank did lower its inflation forecasts. The ECB now expects inflation to average 2.3% this year, down from December&#8217;s forecast of 2.7%, and sees the rate averaging 2% in 2025, down from 2.1%.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction</h1>
Markets responded positively, with the higher-for-longer rates scenario boosting the euro against the dollar and expectations of rate cuts later in the year pushing stock prices higher.
ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>), Europe&#8217;s biggest company, and is a maker of semiconductor manufacturing equipment, gained 3.1% to $1,034. Europe&#8217;s biggest chipmaker Infineon Technologies AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFNNY#OTC">IFNNY</a>) gained 3% to $38.
ASML is the largest holding in the iShares MSCI Eurozone ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EZU#NYSE">EZU</a>), which climbed 1.3% to $50.34 following the ECB&#8217;s decision.

On foreign exchanges, the euro currency was supported against its rivals, up 0.5% against the dollar with one euro buying $1.2786.
The ProShares Ultra Euro ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ULE#NYSE">ULE</a>), an exchange-traded fund that tracks euro performance, was up 0.3% at $11.61.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Analyst Reaction</h1>
&#8220;All in all, today's meeting was a clear and well-structured meeting with an unambiguous&nbsp;message that for now, it&#8217;s&nbsp;too early to discuss rate cuts, but the time&nbsp;for that will come,&#8221; said Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro at ING.
&#8220;We think it will be in June. Let's hope that today's meeting will also end the cacophony of national central bankers commenting on the timing of future rate cuts, which has resembled something of a noisy atonal choir in recent weeks,&#8221; Brzeski added.
Althea Spinozzi, head of fixed income strategy at Saxo Bank, said: &#8220;The ECB inflation forecasts are bullish for EU bonds across tenors because they show inflation is not a problem and stagflation is intensifying. Thus, the ECB must engage in aggressive cuts soon to rescue the economy.&#8221;
Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser at Allianz, said: &#8220;The market mover is that it notably revised down its 2024 inflation forecast on the back of more favorable non-services inflation. Market yields are lower as a result.&#8221;
A June rate cut from the ECB would time exactly with what&#8217;s expected from the Fed in the U.S. and would signal a policy shift that&#8217;s likely to be followed soon after by many developed market central banks.

European Central Bank Lowers Inflation Outlook But Holds Interest Rates: 2 Stocks, 2 ETFs To Watch

There&rsquo;s revolution, or better said, evolution, brewing on the EV battery front. Last year, Toyota Motor (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tm#NYSE">TM</a>) announced its plans of releasing an EV by 2028 that will recharge in only 10 min while traveling 1,000 kilometers.&nbsp;
But the fact that even the EV king, Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tsla#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) isn&rsquo;t providing updates on the battery front shows how daunting this pursuit is. After all, it&rsquo;s not only about a battery that gets recharged quickly, but also about packing as much possible energy into as little material and weight as possible and for that battery to have a long lifespan and for it to&nbsp;work well across a variety of temperatures.&nbsp;Moreover, that&nbsp;safety and assurance also needs to be affordable.
Recent reports showed that Tesla drivers had difficulties in cold weather, as batteries died in freezing temperatures while power stations either not working or taking longer than usual to charge EVs. Also,&nbsp;Recurrent&#39;s research&nbsp;showed that&nbsp;below-freezing temperatures&nbsp;reduced the&nbsp;driving range&nbsp;of 18 popular EV models up to as much as&nbsp;30%.
Although Tesla still doesn&rsquo;t have a complete&nbsp;answer for freezing weather, the pickup parts player, more precisely, tonneau cover maker, Worksport Ltd (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wksp#NASDAQ">WKSP</a>) is taking action to address this issue with its products.
Worksport just revealed it joined forces with&nbsp;Infineon Technologies AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTC">IFNNY</a>)&nbsp;to reduce weight and cost of portable power stations, ensuring power-dense converters for its COR system product line. Worksport developed COR, a portable battery system, together with SOLIS, a solar-powered tonneau cover. Unlike SOLIS, COR can be used independently, but it can also be integrated into a pickup truck. It can be recharged through a wall outlet or any solar panel.
Worksport has been rigorously testing its COR battery power system since November to ensure high performance in extreme situations, including extreme cold and hot climates, rigorous terrain, humidity. Worksport will also conduct shock tests to account for unforeseen events.
Empowered by Infineon, Worksport can create the next generation portable power stations with GaN power semiconductors. By replacing the former silicon switch in the power converter with Infineon&rsquo;s GaN power semiconductors and operating the transistors at higher switching frequency, Worksport will be able to reduce the battery system weight by 33% and system costs by up to 25%.&nbsp;
Moreover, through this collaboration and GaN game changing technology, Worksport will be able to lower CO2 emissions through its manufacturing process. For data centers alone, this technology has a global energy savings potential that equates to 10 million tons of CO2.
To be rescued, the EV revolution needs battery and power innovation.
This winter brought out one of the many barriers to global EV adoption, range anxiety or more precisely, the reliability of battery. Tesla ended 2023 by getting surpassed by BYD during the last quarter for the first time and it entered 2024 with its battery failing to perform on Chicago roads. Its response, for now, is the recommendation to leave vehicles plugged in whenever possible as keeping the charge level above 20% when unplugged will reduce the impact of bitter cold temperatures. Worksport&rsquo;s upcoming COR battery system seems&nbsp;like a better way to assure drivers and encourage EV adoption.

EV Evolution Demands Power Design Innovation

Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFNNY#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) has announced a collaboration with Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WKSP#NASDAQ">WKSP</a>, )))). Worksport will use Infineon's GaN power semiconductors GS-065-060-5-B-A in the converters for its portable power stations to increase efficiency and power density. Enabled by Infineon's GaN transistors, the power converters will be lighter and smaller in size with reduced system costs. In addition, Infineon will support Worksport in the optimization of circuits and layout design to further reduce size and increase power density. &nbsp;
"Infineon's high-quality standard and solid supply chain provide us with the best components to ensure power-dense converters for our COR system product line and contribute to a first-class end product performance," said Worksport CEO Steven Rossi. The company's COR battery system can be integrated into a pickup truck or recharged by any solar panel or wall outlet. By replacing the former silicon switch in the power converter with Infineon's GaN power semiconductors and operating the transistors at higher switching frequency, Worksport will be able to reduce the battery system weight by 33 percent and system costs by up to 25 percent.
The working relationship with Infineon will also help Worksport to reduce CO2 in the manufacturing process. GaN is proving itself as a game-changing technology across many markets and applications. For example, in data centers, GaN solutions have a global energy savings potential of 21 TWh annually, 10 million tons1 of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) equivalent. "In order to further drive electrification and decarbonization, the industry's power designs require innovation," said Johannes Schoiswohl, Business Line Head GaN Systems of Infineon's Power &amp; Sensor Systems Division. "With our GaN power semiconductors we enable Worksport to create the next generation portable power stations that users require."
Infineon's GS-065-060-5-B-A is an Automotive-grade 650 V enhancement mode GaN-on-Silicon power transistor. It offers very low junction-to-case thermal resistance for demanding high power applications such as on-board chargers, industrial motor drives and solar inverters. Furthermore, it features simple gate drive requirements (0 V to 6 V) and a transient tolerant gate drive (-20 / +10 V).

말레이시아는 반도체 부문에 최소 5,000억 링깃(1,070억 달러)의 투자 유치를 목표로 하고 있다고 안와르 이브라힘 총리가 밝혔다.
이 계획된 투자는 집적 회로 설계, 고급 패키징 및 반도체 칩 제조 장비를 목표로 한다고 로이터가 보도했다.
말레이시아는 반도체 시장에서 중요한 역할을 하며 전 세계 테스트 및 패키징의 13%를 담당한다. 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) 및 인피니언 테크놀로지스 AG(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IFNNY#OTC">IFNNY</a>)를 포함한 주요 기업들이 최근 몇 년 동안 이 나라에 상당한 투자를 했다.
안와르 총리는 또한 칩 설계 및 패키징을 전문으로 하는 최소 10개의 현지 회사들을 설립하고, 이들 기업들의 예상 매출이 2억 1천만 달러에서 10억 달러 사이라는 목표를 강조했다.
말레이시아 정부는 목표 달성을 위해 53억 달러의 재정 지원을 할당할 예정이며, 자세한 내용은 향후 제공될 예정이다.
안와르 총리는 고급 제조 및 반도체 설계를 향상시켜 가치 사슬에서 발전할 수 있는 말레이시아의 역량을 강조했다.
4월 22일, 안와르는 동남아시아 최대 규모의 집적 회로 설계 파크를 건설하려는 말레이시아의 계획을 발표했다. 정부는 글로벌 기술기업들과 투자자들을 유치하기 위해 세제혜택, 보조금, 비자면제수수료 등 인센티브를 제공할 예정이다.
이 계획의 목표는 백엔드 칩 조립 및 테스트를 넘어 고부가가치 프론트엔드 설계 작업으로 나아가는 것이다.
말레이시아는 조립 수요를 위해 중국 이외의 지역으로 다각화를 모색하는 중국 칩 회사들로부터 혜택을 받을 준비가 되어 있다.
예를 들어, 지난 9월 중국의 엑스퓨전(Xfusion)은 말레이시아의 네이션게이트(NationGate)와 데이터 센터 및 AI 애플리케이션에 필수적인 GPU 서버를 생산하기 위해 제휴했다.
또한 상하이에 본사를 둔 스타파이브(StarFive)는 페낭에 디자인 센터를 설립하고 있으며 통푸 마이크로 일렉트로닉스(TongFu Microelectronics Co Ltd)는 어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(AMD) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)와 협력하여 말레이시아 시설을 확장하고 있다.
독일 인피니언(Infineon)은 지난 8월 말레이시아 전력 칩 공장 확장을 위해 50억 유로를 투자하겠다고 발표했다.
마찬가지로 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)은 2021년에 말레이시아에 70억 달러 규모의 첨단 칩 패키징 시설을 건설하여 반도체 산업에서 말레이시아의 입지를 강화하겠다는 계획을 밝혔다.
