Taiwan Dollar Strength Tests TSMC Amid AI Chip Boom
TSMC's (NYSE:TSM) finance chief Wendell Huang says currency swings are giving him headaches. He admits a stronger Taiwan dollar can wipe out revenue, so the team is selling spot dollars, locking in forward contracts and parking cash offshore to soften the blow.
