Apple leads surge in global tech shares after Trump tariff relief
Global technology stocks advanced on Thursday in a relief rally after the latest tariff salvo from U.S. President Donald Trump largely exempted industry heavyweights from his threat to impose 100 per cent levy on chips and semiconductors. Trump said the new tariff rate would apply to "all chips and semiconductors coming into the United States," but would not apply to companies that had made a commitment to manufacture in the U.S. or were in the process of doing so. Apple's stock rose 3.3 per cent in premarket trading after Trump's announcement on Wednesday that the company will invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S., a move that could help it sidestep potential tariffs on iPhones. U.S.-listed chipmakers advanced broadly, with Advanced Micro Devices up 2.5 per cent, Intel gaining 2.1 per cent and Nvidia up 1.1 per cent. "A major uncertainty has been removed and investors can finally move on," UBS analysts said in a note. Semiconductor manufacturing equipment supplier Applied Materials and chipmakers Texas Instruments, GlobalFoundries and Broadcom - Apple's partners in the investment effort - climbed between 0.8 per cent and 10.1 per cent. European chipmakers also joined the rally, with ASML, ASMI and BE Semiconductor Industries climbing about 3 per cent each. Germany's Infineon said it could not speculate on possible semiconductor tariffs, as no details have been disclosed yet. Its shares were up 0.6 per cent. Trump's latest on semiconductor tariffs seemingly rules out Taiwanese chip contract manufacturer TSMC, which makes chips for most U.S. companies, including Nvidia, as it has factories in the U.S. "The market remains keen to buy TSMC on dips. Investors also believe they need to remain positioned in AI - with or without tariffs," UBS analysts said. TSMC shares closed almost 5 per cent higher to hit all-time highs, while Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix climbed 2.5 per cent and 1.4 per cent, respectively. South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix will also not be subjected to 100 per cent tariffs on chips, the country's top trade envoy said. Samsung has invested in two chip fabrication plants in Austin and Taylor, Texas, while SK Hynix has announced plans to build an advanced chip packaging plant and research and development facility for artificial intelligence products in Indiana. Since stepping into the White House in January, Donald Trump has made several tariff threats, specifically on semiconductors, aimed at reshaping the supply chain of the industry and spurring domestic production. "The (100 per cent tariff) figure fits Trump's approach of 'open high, negotiate down' and the final figure could be similar to reciprocal tariffs to limit inflation in consumer goods, given that many have chips," said Phelix Lee, senior equity analyst at Morningstar. Not everyone has come out of the latest blitz on the right side, with the Philippines and Malaysia looking to find out more details about the tariff rate. Dan Lachica, the president of the trade body for the Philippine semiconductor industry, said 70 per cent of its electronics exports are semiconductors and the new tariff rate would be "devastating". Philippine stocks were down 0.1 per cent after falling as much as 0.9 per cent during the day.
