As investors look to navigate the volatility of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/2025-market-outlook-navigating-uncertainty-with-high-yield-strategies/">global markets in 2025</a>, Direxion's CEO, Douglas Yones, sees the technology and energy sectors as key growth areas.
In an exclusive interview with Benzinga, he asserted that while broader market uncertainty persists, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy">energy</a> industries are poised to stand out.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductors: A Key Growth Sector</h2>
Yones points to the semiconductor industry, driven largely by the increasing demand for AI technology. "Technology, particularly the AI and semiconductor industries, stands out as a key area for growth," he shares. 
As AI applications expand, the need for more advanced chips is set to rise, making this a high-potential sector. For traders looking to capitalize on this, Yones recommends leveraged ETFs such as the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>), which offer significant exposure to the semiconductor industry.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Sector Boosted By Policy Shifts</h2>
The energy sector is also expected to thrive in 2025, with favorable policies likely to drive growth in fossil fuel companies. "The Trump administration has made its stance on drilling very clear, and the administration may be more friendly to fossil fuel companies," says Yones. 
He believes this will likely hurt alternative energy stocks, but make energy ETFs like the Direxion Daily Energy Bull 2X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERX#NYSE">ERX</a>) an appealing choice for traders.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Looking Ahead: 2025's Growth Potential</h2>
With AI driving technological advances and President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s administration continuing its pro-fossil fuel stance, both semiconductors and energy stocks are expected to dominate investor portfolios in the year ahead.
"We expect energy and semiconductor stocks to benefit from both technology trends and government policies," Yones said.

EXCLUSIVE: Energy, Semiconductors Could Dominate Portfolios In 2025, Says Direxion CEO

Traders seeking short-term opportunities in a changing economy are turning to leveraged and inverse ETFs as tools to capitalize on market shifts, particularly following the recent election. At the most recent virtual <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/">Benzinga</a> boot camp hosted by Direxion, analysts spotlighted strategies and trends driving interest in these financial instruments while emphasizing their role in tactical trading.
During the session, Gianni Di Poce, an analyst at The Mercator LLC, and Eliott Wellenbach, a senior vice president and institutional ETF strategist at Direxion, discussed the performance of leveraged ETFs in semiconductors, Chinese markets, and single-stock opportunities.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Traders Are Watching Semiconductors</h3>
The semiconductor industry remains a focal point for traders as artificial intelligence and quantum computing developments continue to shape the market. Di Poce pointed to the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index as a case study, noting its upward trend.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

"When looking at trends, higher highs and higher lows indicate where the bigger directional moves are likely to occur," Di Poce said. He emphasized the value of Direxion's triple-leveraged SOXL ETF for bullish opportunities while also recognizing potential on the bearish side with SOXS, depending on short-term market movements.
Wellenbach added context from fund flows, explaining that SOXL has been among the top ETFs for inflows this year, reflecting investor confidence in semiconductor performance. "SOXL is our second-largest fund by assets under management," he said, acknowledging recent weekly outflows as traders locked in profits.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China's Rebound Draws Interest</h3>
China's markets have also garnered attention after periods of volatility and downtrends. Di Poce highlighted the FTSE China 50 Index, explaining how stimulus measures and broader monetary shifts have contributed to a potential trend reversal.
"You had lower lows and lower highs for months, but that began to change earlier this year," Di Poce noted, pointing to recent higher lows as a signal of recovery. Direxion's YINN, a bullish China ETF, has seen notable inflows, aligning with the market's upward trajectory.
Wellenbach echoed this sentiment, adding that YINN became one of Direxion's top-performing funds following the Federal Reserve's rate adjustments. "The September easing helped shift global monetary flows, and traders recognized that opportunity," he said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Single-Stock ETFs: A Growing Tool</h3>
Another focus of the session was single-stock ETFs. Di Poce discussed opportunities in high-profile names like Apple, Alphabet, and Tesla, noting their recent technical patterns.
"Apple broke through resistance and hit new highs, while Tesla confirmed its bull trend after months of declines," Di Poce said. Leveraged funds like AAPU for Apple and TSLU for Tesla offer traders tools to take short-term positions on individual stocks.
Wellenbach highlighted the increasing popularity of these ETFs, saying, "We've seen assets in single-stock funds grow from $1 billion to $6 billion this year as traders look for ways to express short-term convictions or hedge concentrated positions."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Education And Strategy Remain Crucial</h3>
Both analysts emphasized the importance of understanding how leveraged ETFs function throughout the event. Wellenbach stressed their role as short-term tools and warned traders against a buy-and-hold approach due to the funds' daily rebalancing.
"These are powerful instruments, but you need to know what you own and how they work," Wellenbach said. Di Poce echoed this caution, reminding traders to manage risk. "Leverage can amplify gains, but it can also amplify losses. You can't afford to stay wrong for long."

EXCLUSIVE: Leveraged ETFs Offer Short-Term Edge As Traders Eye Semiconductors, China, And Quantum Tech In Post-Election Market

Two of the globe&#8217;s largest chip manufacturers will clash in court this week due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intellectual-property">disagreement over intellectual property</a>.
What Happened: Arm Holdings plc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>) legal spat with Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) commenced Monday, Dec. 16, before a federal jury in Delaware, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-16/arm-qualcomm-contract-fight-threatens-to-upend-chip-industry?sref=TBDibEcD">reported</a>.
Recall Qualcomm's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19148004/qualcomm-to-buy-startup-nuvia-in-1-4b-deal-what-investors-need-to-know">$1.4 billion acquisition of NUVIA</a>, a chip startup, in 2021. Just two years earlier, Arm granted licenses to NUVIA — assets Qualcomm eventually inherited.
Arm, headquartered in the U.K. and majority-owned by SoftBank Group, claims the Nuvia deal requires renegotiation. It also wants Qualcomm to destroy certain chip designs it received once the deal closed.
Qualcomm, in court documents, insists it has its own license agreements with Arm. &#8220;Qualcomm has licensed and paid for the same intellectual property that NUVIA licensed under its own separate agreements with ARM,&#8221; the statement <a href="https://semianalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/files/71776a9c-ee79-4c5c-947b-f7e98cf40bcc.pdf">reads</a>. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs To Watch</h1>
As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, chip ETFs closed in the green Monday:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) was up 0.56%</li>
<li>Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXQ#NASDAQ">SOXQ</a>) was up 0.49%</li>
<li>Columbia Semiconductor and Technology ET (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEMI#NYSE">SEMI</a>) was up 2.75%</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) was up 5.88%</li>
</ul>
Why It Matters: The case — Arm v. Qualcomm, 22-cv-01146, US District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington) — will likely see both CEOs, Arm&#8217;s Rene Haas and Qualcomm&#8217;s Cristiano Amon, take the stand.
This isn't the first time an M&amp;A agreement involving these companies sparked legal challenges. Back in 2020, Nvidia attempted to buy Arm for $40 billion, which threw San Diego-based Qualcomm and other tech companies into a panic.
Regulators sank the deal in 2022 when the Federal Trade Commission sued Nvidia to block the merger. Arm also faced substantial regulatory pressure from British authorities.&nbsp;
Fast-forward to today, and Arm is now trying to flex its muscles by pulling Qualcomm's license — worth an estimated $1.5 billion.
And Qualcomm is not known to give up easily. Recall its past licensing tussle with Apple, <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/04/qualcomm-and-apple-agree-to-drop-all-litigation/">settled</a> in April 2019. 
What&#8217;s Next: Analysts predict the companies will eventually settle, probably with Qualcomm paying more to access Arm's tech. 
The proceedings are anticipated to conclude by Friday, Dec. 20.
It&#8217;s worth noting that the chips in question power most mainstream devices, and the legal dispute could have wide-ranging repercussions on the tech industry.

Arm, Qualcomm Face Off In Court: What To Expect From Silicon Soap Opera

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.

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

While the S&amp;P 500 Index continues its post-election surge, breaking through key resistance levels, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/nasdaq-100">the NASDAQ 100</a> is struggling to keep up.
This catch-up is prompting JPMorgan analyst Jason Hunter to ask: Is this a shift in market leadership or a temporary pause for the tech-heavy index?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">S&amp;P 500 Breaks Out, NASDAQ 100 Stalls</h1>
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="794" height="464" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-643450" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM.png 794w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM-300x175.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12121428/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.44.09-PM-768x449.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" /></figure>
After the S&amp;P 500 re-accelerated through April's channel resistance and the 5850-5878 highs post-election, the index remains firmly bullish, with key support holding in the 5600s. The next resistance levels are now pegged at 6166 and 6194. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ 100 has faced a roadblock, unable to surpass its August rebound high. 
Hunter highlights that despite a broad market rally, the NASDAQ has underperformed, suggesting a potential leadership shift away from tech.
This divergence between the two indices is critical. If the NASDAQ 100 fails to break through its recent range, it would further support the idea that a regime change is in the cards — one where sectors outside of tech, like communication services, could be driving the market forward.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Communication Services Steals The Spotlight</h1>
Interestingly, while the NASDAQ 100 as a whole struggles, the Communication Services sector has been leading the charge in the index's breakout. Good news for investors in the iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYZ#NYSE">IYZ</a>) and the SPDR S&amp;P Telecom ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTL#NYSE">XTL</a>)
Tech and semiconductor stocks have lagged, clustered just below resistance. Relevant for investors in the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>), the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), the Invesco QQQ Trust Series I (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and the Invesco NASDAQ 100 ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQM#NASDAQ">QQQM</a>).
Hunter's outlook suggests that in the coming weeks these hardware-oriented stocks may get "dragged higher" if the broader market rally continues. The question remains: Will they catch up, or will they continue to underperform as the rally unfolds?
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductor Struggles: A Key Test For Tech's Future</h1>
Semiconductors, once at the heart of tech's dominance, have been particularly sluggish. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) has faced stiff resistance at the 5397 July peak and the 5537 78.6% retracement level.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="794" height="464" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-643479" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM.png 794w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM-300x175.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/12122734/Screenshot-2024-11-12-at-10.57.21-PM-768x449.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" /></figure>
While it has managed to hold above the 4997 200-day moving average, Hunter is closely watching whether these resistance levels will break.
If the semiconductor sector can't clear this hurdle, it would signal a continuation of the underperformance that has characterized the group since mid-summer. 
On the other hand, if bullish momentum drags semiconductors through these barriers, it could fuel a catch-up rally in tech stocks, reversing the trend of broad market leadership shifting to other sectors.
Investors in the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>), the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) and the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NASDAQ">SOXL</a>) should remain wary of their holdings.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Will Tech Stage A Comeback?</h1>
Despite these challenges, Hunter remains optimistic that the post-election bullish momentum could eventually carry tech stocks, particularly semiconductors, back into the leadership role they held for much of the 2022-2024 rally. 
But if semiconductors continue to falter, and the broader market continues to rally without them, it could confirm that the days of tech dominance are coming to an end — at least for the near term.
For now, Hunter is watching for any breakouts in the tech sector, especially in semiconductors, to see if they can reclaim their former leadership position. 
The key levels to watch are the 5397 July gap for the SOX Index and the 21433-22306 range for the NASDAQ 100.

Wall Street anticipates AMD to report adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 92 cents for the third quarter of 2024, reflecting a robust 31% increase from 70 cents in the same quarter last year, as per Benzinga Pro data.
GAAP revenue is projected to reach $6.71 billion, a 16% year-over-year increase from $5.8 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Positive Track Records Of Earnings Beats, Yet With Mixed Stock Reactions </h3>
Over the last eight quarters, AMD has consistently, yet marginally, beaten EPS expectations in seven out of eight reports, with the only miss occurring in the third quarter of 2022 (-1.47%).
Revenue has also largely exceeded expectations, with positive surprises in seven quarters, the largest being a 7.31% beat in Q1 2024. 
However, the stock's one-day price reaction has been mixed, demonstrating significant volatility. 
While strong quarterly beats drove substantial gains in the third quarter of 2023 (+9.69%) and the fourth quarter of 2022 (+12.63%), other quarters saw sharp declines despite solid results, such as the first quarter of 2024, where the stock dropped 8.91% following both a strong EPS beat of 8.77% and a 7.31% revenue surprise.
Strong positive stock reactions occurred in the third quarter of 2023 (+9.69%) and the fourth quarter of 2022 (+12.63%).
Negative reactions were recorded in the first quarter 2024 (-8.91%) and the first quarter of 2023 (-9.22%), despite substantial EPS and revenue beats, suggesting investor concerns about guidance-related issues

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rosenblatt Securities: 60% Upside Potential With Server And GPU Gains</h3>
Rosenblatt analyst Hans Mosesmann is optimistic about AMD's ability to meet and slightly exceed the Street&#8217;s expectations.
Mosesmann indicated that AMD's EPYC server CPUs and MI300 AI GPUs are on a positive trajectory, particularly in light of expanding market share in the high-performance computing space. However, he expects "slight growth" in embedded segments and double-digit declines in gaming consoles, which could act as a drag on AMD's overall performance.
"We believe the shares are set to outperform the group after several quarters of skepticism around MI300's market share potential and mixed quarter results," Mosesmann said. 
Rosenblatt maintains a bullish 12-month price target of $250, implying a potential 60% upside from current levels.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs: Long-Term Optimism on AI Infrastructure and Server CPU Share</h3>
Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari indicated that AMD has underperformed due to downward revisions in consensus EPS estimates for 2024, which have dropped 9% since the beginning of the year, while competitors like NVIDIA have seen significant upward EPS revisions.
"We maintain our Buy rating on AMD given our expectation for sustained growth in AI infrastructure capex, a cyclical recovery in server CPUs, and continued market share gains in Enterprise," Hari said. 
He highlighted AMD's increasing x86 server CPU market share, which rose to 34% as of Q2 2024, from less than 20% in early 2022. 
Goldman Sachs estimates that AMD's upcoming next-generation server CPUs could further solidify its edge over Intel Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) in total cost of ownership (TCO) and efficiency.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">ETFs With Significant AMD Exposure</h3>

While Nvidia Shares Are Hitting All-Time High With Over 230% Return In The Past Year, Some ETFs Linked To Jensen Huang's Chip Giant Have Surged By Almost 500%: Here's More

On Friday, Gene Munster shared his insights on the ongoing AI market dynamics after key Nvidia supplier Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41373163/nvidia-supplier-tsmc-reports-q3-revenue-earnings-beat-amid-rising-demand-for-ai-chips">impressive third-quarter performance</a>.
What Happened: Munster took to X and emphasized the importance of focusing on the broader AI landscape rather than short-term fluctuations. He pointed out that just two days prior, concerns arose among investors regarding a potential slowdown in the AI sector. This was sparked by ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) reducing its 2025 revenue forecast by approximately 18%. The prevailing theory suggested that a decline in demand for AI chip-making machines could indicate a slowdown in AI chip demand.

However that was not the case. Munster highlighted that TSMC saw a 10% surge in its stock price after announcing a 6% increase in December revenue projections. TSMC also reported that its demand for CoWoS, a key AI technology, is outpacing its supply capabilities, despite efforts to double capacity annually. 
Munster stated, &#8220;I still believe we&#8217;re in front of a 2-4 year bull market driven by AI.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Munster&#8217;s comments come in the wake of TSMC&#8217;s impressive third-quarter results, which exceeded expectations due to robust demand for AI chips. TSMC&#8217;s revenue for the quarter reached NT$759.69 billion ($23.50 billion), marking a 39% year-over-year increase. This growth underscores the strong demand for advanced processor node technologies used in AI applications.
Additionally, Munster had previously addressed the market&#8217;s reaction to ASML&#8217;s guidance cut, describing it as an overreaction. As reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41351475/after-asml-rocks-ai-hardware-names-gene-munster-explains-why-its-overreaction-ai-tr">Benzinga</a>, he noted that only a small portion of ASML&#8217;s revenue is directly tied to AI demand. Munster&#8217;s perspective suggests that the AI trade remains on track, with TSMC&#8217;s performance further supporting this outlook.
Price Action: As per<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com"> Benzinga Pro,</a> t the time of writing during the pre-market hours on Friday, Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) was up by 0.70% while major semiconductor ETFs were also trading slightly upwards. iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) was up by 1% while Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) was trading 3.20% higher.

Yesterday, at 10:05 AM on October 16th, a significant trading signal occurred for Drexion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) as it demonstrated a Power Inflow at a price of $34.40. This indicator is crucial for traders who want to know directionally where institutions and so-called "smart money" moves in the market. They see the value of utilizing order flow analytics to guide their trading decisions. The Power Inflow points to a possible uptrend in SOXL&#8217;s stock, marking a potential entry point for traders looking to capitalize on the expected upward movement. Traders with this signal closely watch for sustained momentum in SOXL&#8217;s stock price, interpreting this event as a bullish sign.
Signal description
Order flow analytics, aka transaction or market flow analysis, separate and study both the retail and institutional volume rate of orders (flow). It involves analyzing the flow of buy and sell orders, along with size, timing, and other associated characteristics and patterns, to gain insights and make more informed trading decisions. This particular indicator is interpreted as a bullish signal by active traders.&nbsp;
The Power Inflow occurs within the first two hours of the market open and generally signals the trend that helps gauge the stock&#8217;s overall direction, powered by institutional activity in the stock, for the remainder of the day.&nbsp;
By incorporating order flow analytics into their trading strategies, market participants can better interpret market conditions, identify trading opportunities, and potentially improve their trading performance. But let's not forget that while watching smart money flow can provide valuable insights, it is crucial to incorporate effective risk management strategies to protect capital and mitigate potential losses. Employing a consistent and effective risk management plan helps traders navigate the uncertainties of the market in a more controlled and calculated manner, increasing the likelihood of long-term success

Tradepulse Power Inflow Alert: Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Receives Alert And Climbs 3.3%

An<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41339229/asml-earnings-leak-sparks-broad-semiconductor-sell-off-sector-down-sharply-as-dutch-chipmaker-lo"> unintentional disclosure</a> by semiconductor equipment specialist ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) penalized the broader technology sector, with the benchmark Nasdaq index losing 1% on Tuesday. Unfortunately, ASML accidentally released its third-quarter earnings report a day early, causing a ripple effect in the computer chip ecosystem.
As Benzinga Staff Writer Piero Cingari pointed out, the report "revealed a significant revision to its 2025 net sales guidance, now projected between 30 billion euros and 35 billion euros ($32.7 billion to $38.2 billion) — a reduction from the previously stated range of 30 billion euros to 40 billion euros."
Most worryingly, while demand related to artificial intelligence appears to continue to be largely in a bright spot, it wasn't enough to rejuvenate other market segments. "It now appears the recovery is more gradual than previously expected. This is expected to continue in 2025, which is leading to customer cautiousness," said ASML president and CEO Christophe Fouquet.
Adding insult to injury, the head executive disclosed that the company's 2025 total net sales may expand to a range between 30 billion to 35 billion euros, which represents the lower half of the guidance that the company provided at its Investor Day conference.
Not surprisingly, the options market lit up for ASML stock, with the market's heavy hitters<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/24/10/41339957/market-whales-and-their-recent-bets-on-asml-options"> positioning themselves bearishly</a>. Specifically, professional or institutional investors piled into put options with expiration dates ranging from this Friday to March 21 of next year.
The Direxion ETFs: Nevertheless, the heightened activity in the tech space could offer opportunities in Direxion's leveraged exchange-traded funds. Some of the financial service provider's highest-risk, highest-reward offerings took center stage recently. First, the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) is an ETF that is reserved only for the most optimistic traders.
Second, the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) is an extreme ETF that caters to those holding decisively pessimistic sentiments. Both the SOXL and SOXS seek the daily investment results of 300% (or 300% of the inverse) of the NYSE Semiconductor Index. Given the 3X leverage, these funds are only designed to be held for periods no greater than one day.
Fundamentally, the daily compounding of leverage – especially for the inverse SOXS – is severe in these ETFs. Therefore, it's imperative that market participants maintain positional discipline and exit before the trading session expires.
The SOXL ETF: Although the SOXL fund is in positive territory for this year, the extreme leverage has only resulted in a relatively modest performance.
<ul>
<li>After soaring through early July, the 3X-leveraged ETF tumbled badly into early August before entering a choppy consolidation phase.</li>
<li>SOXL is on the ropes at the moment as the shocking ASML disclosure plunged its unit price below its 50-day moving average.</li>

The SOXS ETF: Due to the overall strong performance of the tech space, SOXS has been bleeding red ink, losing over 63% since the start of this year.

Tech Sector Chaos Puts Spotlight On Direxion's 3X-Leveraged SOXL And SOXS Funds

Driven by demand from cloud computing and AI, semiconductor sales have skyrocketed in recent months as pressure due to supply chain concerns and inflation has eased. The specialized chips that power these popular technologies are in such high demand that makers of these products now represent three of the 10 largest companies in the world by market capitalization&mdash;NVIDIA Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/avgo#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), each of which has a market cap of at least $833 billion.
Notably, the semiconductor market appears to be still heating up. Global semiconductor sales for August 2024 reached more than $53 billion, a 20.6% increase year-over-year and the fifth consecutive month-to-month improvement. Demand was particularly strong in the U.S. and Asia. China&#39;s assertive stimulus policy has prompted a surge in domestic chipmaker stocks in recent weeks, which is not reflected in August&#39;s global sales figures.
Bets on individual semiconductor makers have been a popular choice for many investors, with NVDA shares nearly tripling in the last year and both TSM and AVGO stocks more than doubling during that time. Some investors may prefer a broader approach, though, to capitalize on the ongoing surge in the U.S. or the global semiconductor spaces. In these cases, there are a number of ETFs providing different types of exposure to this market.
<h2>SMH: Top-Performing Non-Leveraged Chip ETF</h2>
The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/smh#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) provides reasonably broad coverage of the semiconductor space by targeting more than two dozen U.S.-listed chipmakers. Setting it apart from other U.S.-focused semiconductor funds is SMH&#39;s inclusion of chip manufacturers of different market capitalization levels, allowing for exposure beyond the largest companies.
SMH has outperformed all other non-leveraged semiconductor ETFs year-to-date, with a total return of nearly 42% in that time and a one-year increase of more than 68%. In the competitive ETF space, where fees for funds are often driven lower, SMH has a moderate expense ratio of 0.35%. This is in line with several other ETFs with a similar focus. VanEck&#39;s semiconductor fund also has a healthy asset base of more than $24 billion and strong liquidity based on average trading volumes.
<h2>SOXQ: Low Fee Alternative</h2>
The Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/soxq#NASDAQ">SOXQ</a>) is just a few years old, making it one of the newest semiconductor-focused funds available. It focuses on a pool of about 30 U.S.-listed and large-cap semiconductor companies, with major players like NVIDIA and Broadcom representing outsized portions of the portfolio.
SOXQ sets itself apart by its expense ratio of just 0.19%. The fund has undercut many other established semiconductor ETFs, drawing cost-conscious investors and those interested in buying and holding.
Given its smaller assets under management and lower liquidity levels than better-known rivals, a buy-and-hold strategy may also be best for SOXQ.
<h2>SEMI: Global Exposure</h2>
While many semiconductor ETFs focus on a small pool of U.S. companies, the Columbia Seligman Semiconductor &amp; Technology ETF (ARCA:SEMI) provides global exposure.
Although its portfolio remains relatively small, at about 30 holdings, and major players like NVIDIA still dominate, SEMI is nonetheless one of the most diverse semiconductor funds available.
This diversity gives investors access to a broader range of growth opportunities. By including international companies, SEMI stands out from other funds with a more limited geographic focus.
<h2>SOXL: Leveraged Semiconductor Fund</h2>
Investors looking to take a more active approach to trading may wish to make use of leveraged funds. In this area, the Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF (ARCA:SOXL) stands out for its 3x-long exposure to a pool of top U.S. semiconductor companies. SOXL dominates the leveraged semiconductor ETF space in terms of liquidity, which is key for investors because the fund&#39;s leverage resets daily.
This daily reset means traders must be cautious of volatility over multiple days, as the compounding effect can significantly impact overall returns. For this reason, SOXL is generally best suited for short-term trades rather than long-term holds, allowing investors to take advantage of sharp price movements in semiconductor stocks without holding the risks of daily compounding over an extended period.
<h2>Rotation Back Into Semiconductor Stocks?</h2>
Some investors shifted away from semiconductors ahead of the Fed&#39;s September rate cut. SMH and other semiconductor funds tumbled in July as a result. However, in the final quarter of the year it appears that semiconductor firms are back on track for continued gains, although the industry remains heavily dependent on a small number of very large names. ETFs focused in this space can help to mitigate the risk of individual chipmakers while still providing exposure to the industry as it continues to heat up.

4 Best ETFs for Capitalizing on the Semiconductor Market Surge

Direxion Managing Director Ed Egilinsky spoke to Benzinga about the sectors likely to benefit from the Federal Reserve&#8217;s potential rate cuts as well as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">2024 presidential election</a>.
&#8220;In the current rotation trade environment, there are several sectors that could be impacted such as the Financials, Energy, Tech, and Healthcare/Biotech,&#8221; Egilinsky said. 
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Semiconductors &#8211; Driving The Tech Sector</h3>
Egilinsky emphasized the significant role of semiconductors in the tech sector's recent success. 
&#8220;The tech sector has continued to be a leader in 2024, with semiconductors once again outpacing the broader tech space,&#8221; he said. This trend is partly due to the excitement surrounding AI.
For traders looking to leverage this momentum, Egilinsky said, &#8220;We have seen inflows YTD with both our Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) and Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>), as traders contemplate the next directional move.&#8221; 
These ETFs are designed to capture short-term fluctuations in the semiconductor sector, offering investors tools to capitalize on its ongoing growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Sector Sensitivity Amid Political, Economic Shifts</h3>
With Election Day on Nov. 5, Egilinsky highlighted how policy changes could affect various sectors in 2025.
&#8220;The election outcome could have a major impact on policy and should create directional volatility in areas sensitive to policy shifts such as healthcare/biotech, financials, and energy,&#8221; he explained. 
Leveraged and inverse ETFs are poised to see increased activity depending on these policy changes:
<ul>
<li>Direxion Daily S&amp;P Biotech Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LABU#NYSE">LABU</a>) and Direxion Daily S&amp;P Biotech Bear 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LABD#NYSE">LABD</a>),</li>
<li>Direxion Energy Bull 2X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERX#NYSE">ERX</a>) and Direxion Daily Energy Bear 2X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERY#NYSE">ERY</a>)</li>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diversifying Beyond The Magnificent Seven</h3>
Egilinsky also discussed the challenge of diversifying beyond the top-performing Magnificent Seven stocks: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
&#8220;We see many investors looking to diversify beyond the Magnificent Seven stocks,&#8221; he said. For those seeking broader exposure, the Direxion NASDAQ-100 Equal Weighted Index Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQE#NASDAQ">QQQE</a>) offers an equal weight approach to the NASDAQ 100 Index, potentially providing additional sources of returns.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Real Estate, Utilities: Benefiting From Rate Cut Expectations</h3>
Egilinsky also noted the performance of real estate and utilities in light of anticipated rate cuts. 
&#8220;The Real Estate and Utilities markets recently hit two-year highs as the realization that the Fed will start cutting interest rates has helped both sectors be amongst the best-performing sectors thus far this quarter,&#8221; he said.
For investors looking to ride this momentum, ETFs like the Direxion Daily Utilities Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTSL#NYSE">UTSL</a>) and Direxion Daily Real Estate Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DRN#NYSE">DRN</a>) are worth considering.

EXCLUSIVE: Beyond The Magnificent Seven — Direxion's Egilinsky Reveals Top Sector Picks

The Netherlands' recently elected prime minister is expected to block ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40301217">from assisting Chinese companies with repair and maintenance services</a>.
Dutch company ASML is a top player in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">semiconductor</a> industry, and the only supplier of extreme ultraviolet lithography machines, which are required to manufacture the world's most powerful chips.
The move is expected to vastly affect China's ability to produce advanced semiconductors and could also hurt ASML's business, as it would deter Chinese companies from purchasing new ASML machines.
ASML stock traded higher earlier in the day Thursday, potentially in sympathy with NVIDIA Corp&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38800273/chinas-semiconductor-spending-tops-us-with-142b-commitment-global-chip-race-heats-up">quarterly results</a>, which broadly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40630439/semiconductor-etfs-rally-despite-nvidia-dip-10-chipmakers-defy-the-ai-darlings-drop">boosted the chips and AI sectors</a>. ASML stock ultimately ended the session slightly negative at $887.71. 
What Happened: The government of Dick Schoof, who came into power in The Netherlands in July, will apparently not renew ASML's licenses to repair and maintain their products in China. This includes providing spare parts as well as having ASML employees stationed at Chinese companies, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-29/the-netherlands-to-put-more-curbs-on-asml-s-china-chip-business?srnd=homepage-europe&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">Bloomberg</a> reported. 
Semiconductor production lines are extremely complex and require fixed personnel to provide maintenance service. ASML has 10,000 customer support employees on staff, including service engineers and applications specialists, some of whom are permanently placed at foreign manufacturing companies.
So far, Chinese companies have not been able to purchase extreme ultraviolet lithography machines from ASML. The new rule would involve the servicing of ASML's deep ultraviolet lithography, which are second-in-line in the company's product roster and are held by Chinese tech companies like Huawei.
The latest EUV machine from ASML runs about $380 million, and the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38842448/taiwan-semi-flags-high-costs-of-asmls-latest-chip-machines">has sold it to </a>Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37071728/intel-gears-up-for-future-with-asmls-advanced-chip-machine-set-to-advance-ai-processing">Intel Corp</a> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>), among others.

Impact On ASML: China remains ASML's largest market, and has been so for the last four consecutive quarters, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-07-17/asml-s-surging-china-sales-underscore-us-threat-of-tighter-curbs?sref=TBDibEcD">reports</a>. Exports to the country represented <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39808860/asml-beats-q2-earnings-expectations-with-strong-china-sales-ai-chip-demand">49% of the company's sales in the second quarter</a> of this year.
While the company's exclusive product offer has allowed it to remain present in China's market despite export controls, new restrictions will further incentivize China to develop the technology it needs to manufacture advanced chips with fully local technology.
Chinese tech giant Huawei recently announced its latest chip series are in line <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39227871/nvidias-ai-chip-has-a-tough-competitor-from-china-huaweis-latest-ascend-910b">with Nvidia's high-level A100 chips in some tests</a>.
US Pressure Abroad Is Working: China is already under intense pressure from the U.S. to slow down its semiconductor industry. The Biden administration has released a battery of measures aimed at hampering China's growth in the sector and boosting the U.S. domestic industry.
The moves have been framed within the context of national security, as semiconductors are key parts in advanced military equipment and in the development of high-end artificial intelligence, among other applications that could influence the geopolitical power balance.
In 2022, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/22/10/29273679/chinas-semiconductor-industry-decapitated-overnight-what-annihilation-looks-like-1">Biden threatened to revoke citizen privileges to U.S. persons</a> working with Chinese semiconductor companies, causing an exodus of American tech workers from the Asian nation.
Just last month, the government enacted an executive order <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/08/33683351/biden-targets-chinas-semiconductors-and-ai-with-new-order-restricting-investments">restricting U.S. investment in Chinese high-tech sectors</a> including semiconductors.
The moves are in line with other measures aimed at boosting the American domestic chip industry, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39592660/biden-administration-pumps-504m-to-boost-ai-chip-innovation-in-tech-hubs">including tax breaks and billion-dollar funding packages</a>.
Recently, the Biden administration issued a new rule expanding U.S. powers to bar tech exports into China from countries such as Japan, the Netherlands and South Korea <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40078235/biden-rule-on-semiconductor-exports-to-china-is-huge-positive-for-chip-sector-suppl">when U.S. technology is involved</a>.
The U.S. used this rule to influence Schoof's upcoming decision, Bloomberg reported, as the Biden administration pushes to steer its allies against Chinese technological growth.
A spokesperson from China's Ministry of Commerce said this week that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40546725/china-slams-us-for-including-chinese-firms-in-export-control-list-undermines-the-international-trade">U.S. actions undermine "international trade order and rules"</a> and disrupt the "security and stability of global industrial and supply chains."
While the Chinese government <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38800273/chinas-semiconductor-spending-tops-us-with-142b-commitment-global-chip-race-heats-up">has invested more than the U.S.</a> in boosting its domestic semiconductor industry, the country still lags behind in developing its own technology to become independent from foreign suppliers, many of whom are based in countries that align with U.S. political interests.
The largest semiconductor ETFs can be affected by geopolitical moves. These include VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>), iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) and Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>).

ASML's China Business In Crosshairs Of Dutch Government: Semiconductors At Center Of East-West Tensions

In the wake of Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) recent earnings announcement, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) associated with the company have shown diverse responses.
What Happened: As per <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, after the earnings report, GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDL#NASDAQ">NVDL</a>) saw a decrease of 3.41% in pre-market trading. Concurrently, T-Rex 2X Inverse NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDQ#BATS">NVDQ</a>) experienced a rise of 3.48%.
Other ETFs like ProShares Ultra Semiconductors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USD#NYSE">USD</a>) and Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDU#NASDAQ">NVDU</a>) also witnessed a decline of 1.90% and 3.48% respectively. On the contrary, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) and iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) saw an increase of 1.09% and 0.57% respectively.
The varied responses from NVDA ETFs came in the aftermath of Nvidia&#8217;s latest quarterly earnings report.

Why It Matters: Nvidia ETFs had shown mixed trading activity prior to the earnings announcement as well. The earnings report revealed that Nvidia had surpassed expectations for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40613050/nvidia-q2-earnings-guidance-top-street-view-as-ai-fuels-record-data-center-revenue-gross-margin-fal">second quarter driven</a> by strong data center revenue.
However, the Jensen Huang-led chip company&#8217;s gross margin had contracted from the first quarter, leading to a 3.6% drop in shares in after-hours trading. This could explain the varied responses among Nvidia ETFs following the earnings announcement.

Nvidia ETFs Split In Pre-Market After Jensen Huang-Led Chip Giant Exceeds Q2 Expectations

ETFs that allow investing in Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) are showing mixed reactions on Wednesday pre-market ahead of the Jensen Huang-led company&#8217;s earnings call.
What Happened: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40534794/nvidia-is-next-weeks-top-stock-market-strategist-says-why-best-long-term-idea-is-just-buy-nvidia-and">Benzinga Pro</a>, at the time of writing, Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) was trading higher by 1.14%, while Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) was down by 0.85%.

Why It Matters: Investors are keenly observing Nvidia ahead of its earnings report, which is anticipated to significantly impact the market. A Morgan Stanley analyst expressed confidence in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40570314/top-nvidia-analyst-sees-no-major-impact-from-blackwell-delay-but-flags-one-caveat-h">Nvidia&#8217;s ability to meet high expectations</a>, despite potential delays in Blackwell shipments. The analyst, Joseph Moore, maintained an Overweight rating and a $144 price target for Nvidia shares.
Moreover, Goldman Sachs highlighted the potential for a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40592599/nvidia-stock-poised-for-major-298b-market-jolt-as-q2-earnings-loom-says-goldman-sachs-can-you-im">market value fluctuation</a>, estimating a possible $298 billion swing following Nvidia&#8217;s second-quarter earnings report. This projection is based on options pricing data, which suggests a potential 9% move in Nvidia stock in either direction.

NVDL, SOXL And Other Chip-Stock Tracking ETFs Trade Mixed Ahead Of Nvidia Earnings: Here's Why

ETFs across various categories pulled in $4.4 billion in capital last week, pushing the year-to-date inflows to $532 billion. U.S. fixed-income ETFs led the way with $3.4 billion in inflows, followed by inflows of $2.4 billion in leveraged ETFs and $2.2 billion in U.S. equity ETFs.
Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (ARCA:VOO), Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares (ARCA:SOXL), SPDR Bloomberg 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF (ARCA:BIL), Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/qqq#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) and Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (ARCA:SCHR) dominated the top creation list last week.
Wall Street witnessed a rollercoaster ride last week, dropping sharply and then climbing up. The S&amp;P 500 recouped all its losses to end the week after the Aug 5 steep sell-off prompted by fears of a recession following weak jobs data. The Dow Jones Industrial Index shed 0.6% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index fell 0.2% last week.
The batch of early last week&#39;s data showed weakening labor markets and a slump in manufacturing that spurred recession concerns and battered global stock markets. Though these data signal a slowdown, the U.S. economy is far from recession anytime soon. The latest data shows that U.S. services sector activity rebounded from a four-year low in July amid a rise in orders and employment. The ISM survey&#39;s new orders measure rebounded to 52.4 from 47.3 in June, which was the lowest since December 2022.
Investors are betting that the Fed will respond to signs of weakness in the economy with more aggressive interest rate cuts. Per CME Group data, most investors expect larger cuts in the September meeting, with futures implying a 51% probability of a 50 bps cut and 49% odds of a 25 bps reduction. Lower interest rates generally lead to reduced borrowing costs, which help businesses expand their operations more easily, resulting in increased profitability. This, in turn, stimulates economic growth and provides a boost to the stock market.

NVDL, SOXL And Other Chip ETFs Suffer Major Blow In Premarket Amid Global Market 'Bloodbath'

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40142331/chip-stocks-staring-at-another-bloodbath-as-intel-tumbles-nvidia-dips-4-asml-crumbles-over-6-whats-a">tech space took a tumble</a> in the week ended Aug. 2, with the Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) declining more than 5% and underperforming the S&amp;P 500 Index &#8211; a measure of broader market performance. Here&#8217;s a summary of what dragged the sector this week and a perspective on where these stocks are headed into the near- and medium-term.
Mixed Tech Earnings, Geopolitics Weigh: Tech stocks started the week on a cautious but a winning note as traders awaited earnings reports from a slew of mega-cap tech names. They pulled back notably on Tuesday, dragged by some tech earnings disappointments, and caution ahead of imminent catalysts.
Strong earnings report from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) fueled a rebound by tech stocks on Wednesday but macro concerns reignited the selling pressure on Thursday. Separate reports on the manufacturing sector and the job market proved to be the undoing of the sector, with traders largely ignoring Meta Platform, Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) fairly robust earnings.
The selling pressure extended to Friday&#8217;s session as Intel Corp.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) earnings miss and reports of a potential Federal Trade Commission probe into high-flying Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) sapped risk appetite of traders toward tech stocks.
Commenting on the week&#8217;s tech sell-off, Wedbush analyst Daniel Ives said, &#8220;The perfect storm panicked tech sell-off has now gained steam after the weaker jobs report&#8230;fueled the R word fears and worries the Fed is now too late in its cutting cycle with tech stocks in the center of this Category 5 storm sell- off.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s how the major tech stocks and exchange-traded funds fared in the week ended Aug. 2:
<ul>
<li>iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>): -9.84%</li>
<li>Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>): -3.07%</li>
<li>Vanguard Information Technology Index Fund ETF Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>): -4.90%</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NASDAQ">SOXL</a>): -30.01%</li>
<li>T-Rex 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (CBOE: NVDX): -12.21%</li>
<li>Nvidia: -5.12%</li>
<li>Intel: -31.48%</li>
<li>AMD: -5.35%</li>
<li>Arm Holdings plc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>): -23.86% (the decline in part was due to quarterly earnings)</li>
<li>Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>): +0.87%</li>
</ul>
The Nasdaq 100 Index, which tracks the performance of 100 biggest non-financial tech stocks, has entered the correction territory following the week&#8217;s sell-off. From a July 11&#8217;s intraday high of 18,671.07, the Nasdaq 100 has lost a little over 10%. A pullback of over 10% from a recent high is called a correction in stock market parlance. 
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-tech-stocks">Best Tech Stocks Right Now</a>
What Lies Ahead? Ives says that this tech bull market and historic run for tech stocks isn&#8217;t over. &#8220;This is just a white knuckle moment in a multi-year bull run for tech stocks that need hand holding,&#8221; he said.
The analyst called for soft-landing and expects the Fed to kickstart a major cutting cycle the next 18 months. 
Ives&#8217; optimism on tech stocks is premised mainly on his confidence in the artificial intelligence technology.
&#8220;We strongly believe this is still the early innings of a $1 trillion AI Cap Ex cycle that will be a 4th Industrial Revolution fueling the broader tech sector for years to come with accelerated growth rates across the tech ecosystem,&#8221; he said.
&nbsp;This June quarter earnings season validated Wedbush&#8217;s bull thesis and field checks around the massive cloud buildouts, Ivs said. 
&#8220;While we clearly get the worries/fears the US consumer is weakening (Amazon consumer softer print), Fed is late to the game, hard landing/hello again bear thesis returning&#8230;we focus on tech spending and the winners that will be front and center in this massive AI tech buildout that is still in the 2nd inning of a 9 inning game,&#8221; he said.
The prospect of the Fed embarking on rate cuts, though negative for mega-caps, may prove healthy for SMID-cap tech stocks. Also, regulatory overhang is in the spotlight in the wake of the presidential election. A Republicans victory is seen by many as resulting in a far less stringent regulatory environment.
Palantir Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) , another AI-levered name, is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40129511/palantir-faces-critical-prove-me-moment-analyst-says-commercial-growth-will-be-star">on track to report earnings in the unfolding week, </a>potentially offering insights into the strength of the AI wave. On the economic front, things will likely be a little bit slow, with two service sector activity readings and jobless claims among the notable releases.
The QQQ ended Friday&#8217;s session down 2.37% at $448.75, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Tech Sell-Off Takes QQQ To Correction Territory, Nvidia Sheds Over 5% For Week: Analyst Says 'Just A White Knuckle Moment In A Multi-year Bull Run'

The tech stocks, which led the stock market rebound seen since in early 2023, have come under pressure since early July, with the weakness more concentrated in the semiconductor space. Early indications suggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40124435/nvidia-down-nearly-4-in-pre-market-trading-as-doj-reportedly-launches-antitrust-probe-over-alleg">these stocks could be in for more losses on Friday.</a>
Economic Evidence Not-so Positive: The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) traded down about 3% in premarket trading, adding to the 7%+ drop seen on Thursday. The sell-off seen on Thursday came on the back of some sore data points, including weak manufacturing activity data and a spike in jobless claims. These data points added weight to the view that the economy is slowing down and could potentially face the risk of a hard landing.
The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and his team have hinted at beginning rate cuts as early as the September meeting. Rate cuts could bring the spotlight to the SMID-cap stocks, which have underperformed the broader market in the bull run seen since 2023, accelerating the rotation out of mega-cap techs. 
Incidentally, small-caps also retreated on Thursday, suffering more losses relative to the tech stocks.

Sector-Specific Risks: Semiconductor stocks are facing some sector-specific risks such as the U.S.-China standoff, which will remove from the equation a key market for these companies. Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) are already facing the music as they scramble to offset the impact by rolling out chips that can help them sidestep the China chip ban imposed by the U.S.
Regulatory overhang is an added impediment for these companies. Nvidia for one is stymied by the possibility of the U.S. Department of Justice initiating a probe over the Jensen Huang-led company monopolizing the market for AI accelerators. 
Also weighing down on sentiment is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40115276/intel-stock-falls-after-weak-q2-results-new-cost-reduction-plan-15-headcount-reduction">a disappointing earnings report for Intel Corp. </a>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and the company also announced workforce reduction and suspension of dividends in the wake of the predicament.
The ultimate fate of chip stocks in Friday&#8217;s session will hinge on how the July non-farm payrolls report pans out. A modest slowdown in job growth and contained average hourly earnings could prompt traders to buy back beaten-down stocks. On the contrary, very weak job growth and/or a rise in the average hourly earnings &#8211; a proxy for inflation, could steepen the sell-off. The Stock Moves: Intel is leading the sell-off with a 21.79% plunge to $22.72, according to <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro data. </a>Among the other major decliners in the premarket are:
<ul>
<li>ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) fell 6.52% to $826.13.</li>
<li>Arm Holdings plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NYSE">ARM</a>) was down about 5.37% to $114.38.</li>
<li>AMD was down a more modest 0.70% to $131.61.</li>
<li>Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>) fell 2.30% to $140.64.</li>
<li>Micron Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>) slipped 3.46% to $96.</li>
</ul>
The SOXX has pulled back to a nearly 2-month low with its plunge on Thursday. The exchange-traded fund closed at its lowest level since May 9, settling down 7.21% to $218.42. In the premarket on Friday, it was down 2.94% at $211.99. Among the other sector-specific ETFs:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) fell 3.68% to $222.50.</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NASDAQ">SOXL</a>) plunged 7.91% to $32.23.</li>
<li>GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDL#NASDAQ">NVDL</a>), an ETF that tracks Nvidia&#8217;s performance, fell 7.48% to $47.60.</li>

Chip Stocks Staring At Another Bloodbath As Intel Tumbles, Nvidia Dips 4%, ASML Crumbles Over 6%: What's Ailing The Sector Friday

In a recent development, chip ETFs have experienced a significant upswing as a result of President Biden&#8217;s decision to exempt some allies from the new rule governing chip exports to China.
This movement also comes on the heels of&nbsp;Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/40060832/amd-skyrockets-over-9-lifting-along-with-ai-rival-nvidia-whats-going-on">posting its second-quarter</a> results which exceeded expectations and guided the current quarter's revenue above consensus. 
What Happened: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>, on Wednesday, the GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDL#NASDAQ">NVDL</a>), which has 100% exposure to AMD&#8217;s peer Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) saw an 11.78% increase, trading at $52.65, up from Tuesday&#8217;s close of $47.10. 
The Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) also experienced a significant boost, trading 10.71% higher at $41.23, compared to its previous close at $37.24.

ProShares Ultra Semiconductors (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USD#NYSE">USD</a>) followed suit, with an 8.73% increase, trading at $110.98, a significant rise from Tuesday&#8217;s close at $102.07. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) saw a 4.20% increase, trading at $239.10, up from $229.47. Lastly, the iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) rose by 3.69%, trading at $228.73, up from $220.58 on Tuesday.
Why It Matters: The Biden administration announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/07/40061267/asml-shares-surge-over-7-as-team-biden-plans-to-exempt-allies-from-new-rule-on-foreign-chip-equipmen">the new rule </a>on foreign chip equipment exports to China which will enhance U.S. authority to halt exports of semiconductor manufacturing equipment from certain foreign countries to Chinese chipmakers. However, shipments from key allies such as Japan, the Netherlands, and South Korea will be exempted, thereby limiting the rule's impact.

Leveraging Trades On Semiconductors With SOXL And SOXS

투자자들이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/2025-market-outlook-navigating-uncertainty-with-high-yield-strategies/">2025년 글로벌 시장의 변동성</a>을 헤쳐 나가려고 하는 가운데, 디렉시온(Direxion)의 CEO인 더글라스 요네스(Douglas Yones)는 기술 및 에너지 부문이 주요 성장 분야로 부각될 것이라고 보고 있다.
벤징가와의 독점 인터뷰에서 그는 넓은 시장 불확실성이 계속되고 있지만, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">반도체</a> 및 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/energy">에너지</a> 산업이 두드러질 것으로 예상된다고 주장했다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">반도체: 주요 성장 부문</h2>
요네스는 인공지능(AI) 기술에 대한 수요 증가로 주도되는 반도체 산업을 지목한다. &#8220;기술, 특히 AI와 반도체 산업이 성장의 주요 영역으로 부각되고 있다&#8221;고 그가 말했다.
AI 애플리케이션이 확장됨에 따라 더 발전된 칩에 대한 필요성이 증가할 것이므로, 이는 높은 잠재력을 가진 부문이 된다. 이 기회를 이용하고자 하는 트레이더에게 요네스는 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>)와 같은 레버리지 ETF를 추천하고 있다. 이 ETF는 반도체 산업에 대한 상당한 노출을 제공한다.

에너지 부문도 2025년에 성장할 것으로 예상되며, 유리한 정책이 화석 연료 회사들의 성장을 이끌 것으로 보인다. &#8220;트럼프 행정부는 시추에 대한 입장을 분명히 했으며, 행정부가 화석 연료 회사들에게 더 우호적일 수 있다&#8221;고 요네스가 말했다.
그는 이것이 대체 에너지 주식에 부정적인 영향을 미치겠지만, Direxion Daily Energy Bull 2X Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ERX#NYSE">ERX</a>)와 같은 에너지 ETF는 트레이더들에게 매력적인 선택이 될 것이라고 믿고 있다.

세계 최대 칩 제조사 중 두 곳인 ARM 홀딩스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARM#NASDAQ">ARM</a>)와 퀄컴(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>)이 이번 주 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/intellectual-property" target="_blank" rel="noopener">지적재산권에 대한 의견</a> 차이로 법정에서 충돌할 예정이다.
무슨 일 있었나: 블룸버그 통신은 12월 16일 월요일, 델라웨어의 연방 배심원단 앞에서 ARM 홀딩스와 퀄컴의 법적 공방이 시작되었다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-12-16/arm-qualcomm-contract-fight-threatens-to-upend-chip-industry?sref=TBDibEcD">보도했다.</a>
2021년 퀄컴이 칩 스타트업인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/21/01/19148004/qualcomm-to-buy-startup-nuvia-in-1-4b-deal-what-investors-need-to-know" target="_blank" rel="noopener">누비아(NUVIA)를 14억 달러에 인수했는데,</a> 불과 2년 전에 ARM 홀딩스는 누비아에 라이선스를 부여했고, 결국 퀄컴이 그 자산을 물려받게 되었다.
영국에 본사를 두고 있으며 소프트뱅크 그룹이 대주주로 있는 ARM 홀딩스는 누비아 거래에 재협상이 필요하다고 주장하고 있다. 또한 거래가 성사된 후 퀄컴이 받은 특정 칩 설계를 폐기할 것을 요구하고 있다.
반면에 퀄컴은 법원 문서에서 ARM 홀딩스와 자체 라이선스 계약을 체결했다고 <a href="https://semianalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/files/71776a9c-ee79-4c5c-947b-f7e98cf40bcc.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">주장하고 있다</a>. "퀄컴은 누비아가 ARM 홀딩스와 별도의 계약에 따라 라이선스를 받은 것과 동일한 지적재산에 대해 라이선스를 가지고 있고 비용을 지불했다.&#8221;
<h3>주목해야 할 ETF</h3>
<a href=""https://pro.benzinga.com/"">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면 반도체 ETF는 월요일(16일) 상승 마감했다.
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) 0.56% 상승</li>
<li>Invesco PHLX Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXQ#NASDAQ">SOXQ</a>) 0.49% 상승</li>
<li>Columbia Semiconductor and Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEMI#NYSE">SEMI</a>) 2.75% 상승</li>
<li>Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) 5.88% 상승</li>
</ul>
왜 중요한가: 이번 ARM 홀딩스 대 퀄컴 사건(Arm v. Qualcomm, 22-cv-01146, US District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington))에서는 르네 하스 ARM 홀딩스 CEO와 크리스티아노 아몬 퀄컴 CEO 두 사람이 모두 증언할 가능성이 높다.
두 회사가 관련된 M&amp;A 계약이 법적 문제를 일으킨 것은 이번이 처음이 아니다. 2020년에 엔비디아는 ARM 홀딩스를 400억 달러에 인수하려고 시도했고, 이로 인해 샌디에이고에 본사를 둔 퀄컴과 다른 기술 기업들이 패닉에 빠졌다.
규제 당국은 2022년 연방거래위원회가 합병을 막기 위해 엔비디아를 고소하면서 거래를 무산시켰다. 또한 ARM 홀딩스는 영국 당국으로부터 상당한 규제 압력에 직면했다.
현재 ARM 홀딩스는 약 15억 달러에 달하는 퀄컴의 라이선스를 빼내려고 위협하고 있다.
하지만 퀄컴도 쉽게 포기하지 않을 것으로 보인다. 2019년 4월에 <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/04/qualcomm-and-apple-agree-to-drop-all-litigation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">합의한</a> 애플과의 라이선스 분쟁을 떠올려보면 그렇다.
전망: 애널리스트들은 결국 양사가 합의할 것으로 예상하며, 아마도 퀄컴이 ARM 홀딩스의 기술에 접근하기 위해 더 많은 비용을 지불할 것으로 예상한다. 소송 절차는 12월 20일(금)까지 마무리될 것으로 보인다.
문제가 된 칩은 대부분의 주류 기기에 탑재되어 있으며, 법적 분쟁은 기술 산업에 광범위한 영향을 미칠 수 있다는 점에 주목할 필요가 있다.

엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)가 지난 1년 동안 234.09%의 수익률로 사상 최고가를 기록하면서, 젠슨 황이 이끄는 이 칩 거대 기업과 관련된 여러 상장지수펀드(ETF)들도 같은 기간 동안 놀라운 성장을 보였습니다. 이는 이 회사의 시장 영향력이 상당함을 반영한다.
무슨 일이 있었나 (What Happened): <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/semiconductor-etf-smh/holdings/">Benzinga Pro</a>에 따르면, GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDL#NASDAQ">NVDL</a>)는 전량이 엔비디아에 투자되어 479.94%의 놀라운 상승률을 기록했다.
While Nvidia Shares Are Hitting All-Time High With Over 230% Return In The Past Year, Some ETFs Linked To Jensen Huang&#8217;s Chip Giant Have Surged By Almost 500%: Here&#8217;s More
한편, ProShares Ultra Semiconductors(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USD#NYSE">USD</a>)는 엔비디아에 53.92% 지분을 보유하고 있어 290.18% 상승했다.
Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>)는 엔비디아의 8.15% 지분을 보유하고 있으며 111.65% 상승했다. iShares Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)는 9.69%를 보유하고 있어 50.49% 상승했다. Strive US Semiconductor ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOC#NYSE">SHOC</a>)는 26.04%를 보유하고 있으며 51.19% 상승했다.
Simplify Volt RoboCar Disruption(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VCAR#NYSE">VCAR</a>)는 22.83%가 엔비디아에 투자되어 34.66% 상승했다. 마지막으로, VanEck Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>)는 22.69%가 엔비디아에 투자되어 76.50% 상승했다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 엔비디아 관련 ETF들의 인상적인 성과는 이 회사의 강력한 시장 위치와 제품에 대한 수요 증가 때문이다. 최근 인공지능 수요 증가로 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41437976/nvidia-stock-hits-all-time-high-ahead-of-big-tech-earnings-whats-going-on">엔비디아의 주가가 사상 최고가에 도달</a>했다. 올해 초부터 엔비디아 주가는 186% 이상 상승하여 회사의 성장 궤적이 상당함을 보여주었다.
또한 엔비디아는 인도에서 AI 칩을 개발하고 태국에서 확장할 계획을 가지고 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41462536/nvidia-accelerates-global-growth-eyes-ai-chip-development-in-india-and-expansion-in-thailand" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">전 세계적으로 사업을 확장</a>하고 있다. 이러한 전략적 확장은 국내 반도체 공급망을 강화해 엔비디아의 시장 지배력을 더욱 공고히 하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다.

최근 선출된 네덜란드 총리는 ASML 홀딩 NV(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/40301217" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">중국 기업들에 수리 및 유지 관리 서비스를 지원</a>하는 것을 차단할 것으로 예상된다.
네덜란드 회사인 ASML은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">반도체</a> 업계 최고의 기업이자 세계에서 가장 강력한 칩을 제조하는 데 필요한 극자외선 리소그래피 장비를 공급하는 유일한 공급업체이다.
이러한 움직임은 중국의 고급 반도체 생산 능력에 막대한 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되며, 중국 기업들이 새로운 ASML 기계를 구매하는 것을 방해하므로 ASML의 사업에도 타격을 줄 수 있다.
ASML 주식은 목요일 오전 뉴욕에 높게 거래되었으며, 이는 잠재적으로 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38800273/chinas-semiconductor-spending-tops-us-with-142b-commitment-global-chip-race-heats-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">분기별 실적</a>에 동조한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/08/40630439/semiconductor-etfs-rally-despite-nvidia-dip-10-chipmakers-defy-the-ai-darlings-drop">칩과 AI 섹터</a>의 상승에 영향을 받았다. 하지만 ASML의 주식은 결국 소폭 하락한 887.71달러로 마감했다.
무슨 일이 발생했나요: 지난 7월 네덜란드에서 집권한 딕 스호프(Dick Schoof) 정부는 ASML의 중국 내 제품 수리 및 유지 관리 라이선스를 갱신하지 않을 것으로 보인다. 여기에는 예비 부품 제공은 물론, ASML의 직원들을 중국 회사들에 배치하는 것도 포함된다고 <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-29/the-netherlands-to-put-more-curbs-on-asml-s-china-chip-business?srnd=homepage-europe&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">블룸버그가 보도</a>했다.
반도체 생산 라인은 매우 복잡하며 유지보수 서비스를 제공하려면 고정 인력이 필요한다. ASML에는 서비스 엔지니어들 및 애플리케이션 전문가들을 포함하여 10,000명의 고객 지원 직원들이 있으며, 이들 중 일부는 외국 제조 회사들에 영구적으로 배치되어 있다.
지금까지 중국 기업들은 ASML로부터 극자외선 리소그래피 장비를 구매할 수 없었다. 새로운 규칙에는 ASML의 심자외선 리소그래피 서비스가 포함된다. 이는 ASML 제품 목록의 두 번째 리스트이며 화웨이(Huawei)와 같은 중국 기술 회사들이 보유하고 있다.
ASML의 최신 EUV 장비의 가격은 약 3억 8천만 달러이며 이 회사는 이를 대만 반도체 제조(TSMC)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>)와 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/02/37071728/intel-gears-up-for-future-with-asmls-advanced-chip-machine-set-to-advance-ai-processing" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">인텔</a>(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) 등에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38842448/taiwan-semi-flags-high-costs-of-asmls-latest-chip-machines" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">판매</a>했다.
ASML에 미치는 영향: 블룸버그에 따르면 중국은 여전히 ​​ASML의 가장 큰 시장으로 지난 4분기 연속 그러했다. 올해 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39808860/asml-beats-q2-earnings-expectations-with-strong-china-sales-ai-chip-demand" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">2분기 이 회사 매출의 49%</a>가 해당 국가로의 수출이었다.
이 회사의 독점 제품 제공으로 인해 수출 통제에도 불구하고 중국 시장에 계속 존재할 수 있게 되었지만, 새로운 제한은 중국이 완전히 현지 기술로 고급 칩을 제조하는 데 필요한 기술을 개발하도록 더욱 장려할 것이다.
중국의 거대 기술 기업인 화웨이는 최근 자사의 최신 칩 시리즈가 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/06/39227871/nvidias-ai-chip-has-a-tough-competitor-from-china-huaweis-latest-ascend-910b" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">일부 테스트에서 엔비디아의 고급 A100 칩</a>과 일치한다고 발표했다.
미국의 해외 압박 효과: 중국은 이미 미국으로부터 반도체 산업 둔화 압박을 받고 있다. 바이든 행정부는 중국의 이 분야 성장을 방해하고 미국 국내 산업을 활성화하기 위한 일련의 조치를 발표했다.
이러한 움직임은 국가 안보의 맥락에서 이루어졌다. 반도체는 지정학적 힘의 균형에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 다른 응용 분야 중에서도 첨단 군사 장비와 고급 인공 지능 개발의 핵심 부품이기 때문이다.
2022년에 바이든은 중국 반도체 회사들과 협력하는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/22/10/29273679/chinas-semiconductor-industry-decapitated-overnight-what-annihilation-looks-like-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">미국인들에 대한 시민 특권을 박탈하겠다고 위협</a>하여 미국 기술 근로자들이 이 아시아 국가에서 탈출하게 되었다.
바로 지난달 정부는 반도체를 포함한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/08/33683351/biden-targets-chinas-semiconductors-and-ai-with-new-order-restricting-investments" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">중국 첨단 기술 분야에 대한 미국의 투자를 제한</a>하는 행정 명령을 제정했다.
이러한 움직임은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/07/39592660/biden-administration-pumps-504m-to-boost-ai-chip-innovation-in-tech-hubs">세금 감면 및 수십억 달러의 자금 지원 패키지</a> 등이 포함된 미국 국내 칩 산업을 활성화하기 위한 다른 조치와 일치한다.
최근 바이든 행정부는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40078235/biden-rule-on-semiconductor-exports-to-china-is-huge-positive-for-chip-sector-suppl" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">미국 기술이 관련되는 경우</a> 일본, 네덜란드, 한국과 같은 국가에서 중국으로의 기술 수출을 차단하는 미국의 권한을 확대하는 새로운 규칙을 발표했다.
블룸버그는 바이든 행정부가 동맹국들을 중국의 기술 성장에 맞서도록 추진하고 있는 가운데 미국이 이 규칙을 사용해 스호프의 다가오는 결정에 영향을 미쳤다고 보도했다.
중국 상무부 대변인은 이번 주 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40546725/china-slams-us-for-including-chinese-firms-in-export-control-list-undermines-the-international-trade">미국의 조치가 &#8216;국제 무역 질서와 규칙&#8217;을 훼손</a>하고 &#8216;글로벌 산업 및 공급망의 안보과 안정성&#8217;을 방해한다고 말했다.
중국 정부는 자국의 반도체 산업 육성에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38800273/chinas-semiconductor-spending-tops-us-with-142b-commitment-global-chip-race-heats-up" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">미국보다 더 많은 투자</a>를 해왔지만, 중국은 외국 공급업체로부터 독립하기 위한 자체 기술 개발에 여전히 뒤처져 있으며, 이들 중 다수는 미국의 정치적 이해관계에 부합하는 국가들에 기반을 두고 있다.
지정학적 움직임은 가장 큰 반도체 ETF들에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 여기에는 VanEck Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>), iShares Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) 및 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>)가 포함된다.

네덜란드 정부의 표적이 된 ASML의 중국 사업: 동서 긴장의 중심에 있는 반도체 기업들

Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>)가 5% 이상 하락하고 광범위한 시장 성과를 측정하는 S&amp;P 500 지수보다 저조한 성과를 거두면서 8월 2일로 끝난 주에 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/08/40142331/chip-stocks-staring-at-another-bloodbath-as-intel-tumbles-nvidia-dips-4-asml-crumbles-over-6-whats-a" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">기술 분야가 급락</a>했다. 지난주에 해당 부문을 끌어온 요인에 대한 요약과 이러한 주식이 단기 및 중기적으로 어디로 향하고 있는지에 대한 전망은 다음과 같다.
엇갈린 기술업계 실적, 지정학적 요인의 압박: 많은 거대 기술 기업들의 실적 보고서를 기다리면서 트레이더들이 신중한 태도로 시작한 기술 주식은 약간의 승리로 한 주를 시작했다. 그들은 일부 기술 부문의 실적 실망과 임박한 촉매제에 대한 경고로 인해 화요일에 눈에 띄게 약세로 돌아섰다.
어드밴스드 마이크로 디바이시스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>)의 강력한 실적 보고서는 수요일 기술주 반등을 촉진했지만 목요일 거시적 우려로 인해 매도 압력이 다시 촉발되었다. 제조 부문과 고용 시장에 대한 별도의 보고서는 트레이더들이 메타 플랫폼스(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)의 상당히 탄탄한 실적을 크게 무시하면서 해당 부문의 실패로 판명되었다.
인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>)의 실적이 부진하고 엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)에 대한 연방거래위원회(FTC)의 조사 가능성이 보고되면서 기술주에 대한 트레이더들의 위험 선호도가 약화되면서 매도 압력이 금요일까지 확대되었다.
지난주 기술주 매도에 대해 웨드부시(Wedbush)의 애널리스트인 다니엘 아이브스(Daniel Ives)는 &#8220;완벽한 폭풍으로 인한 공포가 기술주 매도를 가속화했다. 취약한 일자리 보고서가 &#8216;R 단어&#8217;에 대한 두려움을 부추기고, 연준(연방준비제도)이 금리 인하 주기에 너무 늦었다는 우려로 인해 기술주가 이 5등급 폭풍 매도의 중심에 있다&#8221;고 말했다.

다음은 (What Lies Ahead)? 아이브스는 이러한 기술 강세장과 기술주에 대한 역사적인 상승은 끝나지 않았다고 말한다. 그는 "이것은 손에 쥐고 있어야 하는 기술주에 대한 다년간의 강세장에서 한 순간에 불과하다"고 말했다.
이 분석가는 연착륙을 요구했으며 연준이 향후 18개월 동안 대규모 금리 인하 주기를 시작할 것으로 예상했다.
기술주에 대한 아이브스의 낙관주의는 주로 인공지능 기술에 대한 그의 자신감을 전제로 한다.
그는 &#8220;우리는 이것이 기술 생태계 전반에 걸쳐 성장률을 가속화하면서 앞으로 수년 동안 더 광범위한 기술 부문을 촉진할 4차 산업 혁명이 될 1조 달러 규모의 AI Cap Ex(자본 지출) 주기의 초기 단계라고 굳게 믿고 있다&#8221;고 말했다.
이번 6월 분기 실적 시즌은 웨드부시의 강세론과 대규모 클라우드 구축에 대한 현장 점검을 입증했다고 아이브스가 말했다.
&#8220;미국 소비자 약화에 대한 우려(아마존 소비자 지출 감소), 연준의 대응 지연, 경기 경착륙 및 약세 시장 논리 재등장에 대한 걱정을 충분히 이해하지만, 우리는 기술 지출과 이 대규모 AI 기술 구축에서 중심에 설 승자들에게 집중하고 있다. 이 게임은 아직 9회 중 2회에 불과하다&#8221;라고 그가 말했다.
연준이 금리 인하를 시작할 것이라는 전망은 거대주에는 부정적이지만 중소형(SMID) 기술주에는 긍정적일 수 있다. 또한, 대선을 계기로 과잉규제 문제도 부각되고 있다. 공화당의 승리는 많은 사람들에게 규제 환경이 훨씬 덜 엄격해지는 결과로 간주된다.
AI를 활용하는 또 다른 이름인 팔란티어 테크놀로지스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40129511/palantir-faces-critical-prove-me-moment-analyst-says-commercial-growth-will-be-star" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">이번 주 실적을 발표할 예정</a>이며 잠재적으로 AI 물결의 강점에 대한 통찰력을 제공할 것이다. 경제적 측면에서는 두 가지 서비스 부문 활동 수치와 실업수당 청구 등 주목할 만한 발표가 있어 상황이 다소 느려질 가능성이 높다.

기술주 급락에 Invesco QQQ Trust는 조정 구간 진입, 엔비디아는 지난주 5% 이상 하락

엔비디아(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)는 반도체 회사들과 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/magnificent-seven">매그니피센트 7 주식들</a> 중에서 눈에 띄는 성과를 거두었다.
그런데 2024년 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">하반기</a>까지 선두 자리를 유지할 수 있을까?
디렉시온(Direxion)의 매니징 디렉터인 에드 이질린스키(Ed Egilinsky)는 자신의 통찰력을 공유하고 이 거대 기술 회사의 주요 동인과 잠재적인 역풍에 대해 조명한다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">엔비디아의 높은 주는 투자자들에게 일시 중지를 제공</h2>
이질린스키는 "엔비디아는 지난 몇 년 동안 기술 분야에서 충실한 역할을 해왔다"고 인정한다. "그러나 현재의 가치 평가로 인해 일부 투자자들은 잠시 멈추게 될 수도 있다. 엔비디아가 칩 분야, 특히 AI 관련 칩 분야의 선두주자라는 점은 부인할 수 없다. 그들은 앞으로 몇 년 동안 이 분야에서 주목할만한 선수가 될 것이다."
하지만 챔피언도 가끔은 숨 한번 돌리고 싶어한다. 주식 분할 이후, 엔비디는 다음 두 가지 면에서 모두 성적을 내지 못했다:
<ul>
<li>VanEck Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) 및 iShares Semiconductor ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>)가 추적하는 광범위한 반도체 지수와</li>
<li>Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>)에서 추적하는 나스닥 100 지수</li>
</ul>
따라서 이질린스키는 경쟁이 심화되거나 수요가 둔화되면 이 높은 가치 평가가 재평가될 수 있다고 믿고 있다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">엔비디아의 강세론자와 약세론자 모두에 기회</h2>
엔비디아의 주가는 연초 대비 대부분 상승세를 보였지만 이질린스키는 강세론자들(bulls)과 약세론자들(bears) 모두에게 여지가 있다고 본다. "방향에 관계없이 엔비디아 주식과 단기 가격 변동을 거래하려는 활동적인 거래자들을 위해 디렉시온은 이러한 기회를 활용할 수 있는 도구를 제공한다"고 그가 말한다.
엔비디아의 인상적인 성과에도 불구하고 주식 시장 환경은 여전히 ​​역동적이다. 이질린스키는 &#8220;우리의 레버리지 ETF는 활성/단기 거래용으로 설계되었으며 매일 모니터링해야 한다&#8221;고 조언한다.
더 큰 그림을 보는 트레이더들에게는 더 넓은 반도체 공간이 그 자체로 기회를 제공한다.
이질린스키는 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3x Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>) 및 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bear 3x Shares(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXS#NYSE">SOXS</a>) ETF들이 전체 부문에 대한 입장을 취하고 싶어하는 사람들에게 적합하다는 점을 강조한다.
"현재 우리의 가장 큰 ETF는 자산이 100억 달러가 넘는 SOXL ETF이다. 그러나 연초부터 반도체 부문의 랠리로 인해 우리는 3X Bear 반도체(SOXS)로 순 유입되고 3X Bull(SOXL)로 유출되는 것을 확인했다"고 이질린스키가 말했다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">엔비디아의 다음 주</h2>
엔비디아가 2024년 하반기를 헤쳐나가면서 풍부한 가치 평가와 잠재적인 경쟁 사이의 균형이 중요할 것이다. 이질린스키는 "경쟁이 심화되거나 수요 둔화로 인해 엔비디아의 현재 풍부한 가치 평가가 재평가될 수 있다"고 예측한다.
현재 엔비디아는 기술 부문의 주요 플레이어로 남아 있지만 활동적인 거래자들은 경계심을 유지해야 한다.

단독: 엔비디아의 높은 주가는 '일부 투자자들에게 일시 중지'를 제공, 전문가는 재평가를 경고

<a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38577767" target="_blank" rel="noopener">전 세계 칩 공급에 대한 통제권을 확보</a>하는 것은 이 업계를 지배하기 위한 경쟁에서 중국과 경쟁하려는 서방 정부의 최우선 과제가 되고 있다.
팬데믹과 관련된 혼란은 반도체 부족이 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/09/23093194/semiconductor-shortage-hits-supply-chain-for-medtech-industry" target="_blank" rel="noopener">수많은 산업에 어떻게 부정적인 영향</a>을 미칠 수 있는지를 보여주었다. 이제 그 어느 때보다 안정적인 칩 흐름을 확보하는 것이 전 세계적으로 지정학적 전략의 최우선 과제로 자리잡고 있다.
이는 정부가 국내 건설 역량에 쏟아 붓는 대규모 투자 목록 뒤에 있는 추론의 일부이다. 보조금은 향후 10년 내에 수천억 달러에 이를 것으로 예상된다.
바이든의 노력: 미국에서는 일자리를 늘리고, 아시아 생산으로부터 독립하며, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">대통령 선거</a>를 앞두고 행정부의 이미지를 개선하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 조 바이든 대통령의 광범위한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chips-act">CHIPS 법</a>의 일환으로 반도체 산업에 대한 인센티브가 이미 328억 달러에 달한다.
월요일, 재닛 옐런 재무장관은 반도체를 포함한 "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38795043/yellen-calls-for-fair-trade-with-china-urges-other-central-banks-to-limit-currency-interventions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">전략 산업에서 미국이 역할을 갖는 것이 매우 중요하다</a>"고 말했다.
마이크론 테크놀로지(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>)와 인텔(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) 등 미국 기업들은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/05/38650086/intel-micron-among-winners-in-bidens-280b-chips-act-for-semiconductor-advancement">CHIPS 법에 따라 나온 조치들로부터 혜택을 받을 것으로 예상된다</a>.
<a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-05-12/chip-technology-spending-gets-81-billion-boost-in-china-rivalry?srnd=homepage-americas&amp;sref=TBDibEcD">블룸버그</a>의 보도에 따르면 정부는 해당 분야 기업을 위한 대출 및 세금 감면 750억 달러와 함께 추가로 390억 달러의 보조금을 약속했다.
칩 산업을 강화하려는 미국 행정부의 전략에는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38682654" target="_blank" rel="noopener">중국에 대한 여러 가지 수출 제한 조치</a>와 함께 가장 진보된 반도체 개발에 필요한 핵심 기술에 대한 중국의 접근을 제한하기 위한 유럽 파트너와의 국제 로비 노력도 포함된다.
올해 초 첨단 반도체 개발에 필수적인 기계를 생산하는 네덜란드 회사인 ASML 홀딩 NV(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>)는 중국과 미국 간의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/01/36591828/chipmaking-giant-asml-at-the-heart-of-u-s-china-tech-battle-export-bans-and-global-implications" target="_blank" rel="noopener">광범위한 지정학적 갈등의 중심에 있다는 우려</a>를 제기했다.
중국에 대한 미국의 수출 통제는 일부 최대 기업들에 영향을 미치고 있다. 지난 주, 중국 최대의 칩 제조업체인 중국 인터내셔널 반도체(SMIC)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/05/38751498/chinas-top-chipmaker-smic-sees-profit-margin-plummet-to-15-year-low-amid-us-export-controls" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2008년 금융 위기 이후 최악의 마진을 보고</a>했다.
미국 정부는 최근 인과 퀄컴(NASDAQ:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/qcom" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for QCOM">QCOM</a>)가 선전에 본사를 둔 화웨이 테크놀로지스에 필수 칩을 공급하도록 허용했던 수출 허가를 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38682654">취소</a>했다.
중국의 1,420억 달러 반격: 중국 역시 반도체 주권을 달성하기 위해 수십억 달러를 투자하고 있다. 중국 정부가 이 수치를 공개하지 않기 때문에 정확한 수치는 불분명하지만, 반도체 산업 협회(Semiconductor Industry Association)의 추정에 따르면 실행된 자금과 계획된 자금 사이의 수치는 1,420억 달러에 달한다.
블룸버그에 따르면, 중국은 현재 다른 어떤 나라보다 건설 중인 반도체 공장이 더 많다. 이 국가의 막대한 노력은 미국과 유럽산 장비에 대한 제한된 접근을 보상하기 위한 필요성에서 탄생했으며, 이 장비 없이는 가장 복잡한 반도체 제조가 여전히 불가능하다.
월요일 인터뷰에서 옐런은 또한 중국에서 &#8220;첨단 제조업의 핵심 분야에 막대한 보조금이 과잉 생산을 초래한&#8221; 이후 특정 산업의 과잉 가능성에 대해 경고했다.
이것이 최근 북반구 전역에 퍼지는 부양책의 주요 관심사이다.
인도, 일본, 유럽도 뛰어들고 싶어한다: 유럽에서는 유럽연합(EU)의 광범위한 계획과 특정 국가 지원 프로그램을 포함하여 수십억 달러를 업계에 투자하기 위한 여러 계획이 공개되었다.
공식 보도 자료에 따르면 유럽 ​​칩법(European Chips Act)은 회원국 및 국제 파트너와 함께 &#8220;430억 유로(460억 달러) 이상의 공공 및 민간 투자를 동원하여 고 향후 공급망 중단을 대비, 예측하고 신속하게 대응하는 조치를 마련할 것이다.
독일, 프랑스, ​​네덜란드는 이미 총 240억 달러의 보조금을 지출했으며, 스페인, 이탈리아, 영국에서는 수십억 달러의 보조금이 제안되었다.
아시아에서 지금까지 가장 큰 국가 지원 투자는 일본에서 이루어졌으며 총 계획 640억 달러 중 160억 달러가 할당되었으며 인도에서는 100억 달러의 정부 기금에서 70억 달러가 할당되었다.
총 자산을 기준으로 미국의 반도체 산업을 추종하는 가장 규모가 큰 ETF는 VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>), iShares Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) 및 Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXL#NYSE">SOXL</a>)이다.
