Recently, the US stock market has been full of highlights. TSMC has repeatedly hit new highs, and management's attitude is very firm—AI demand is far from reaching its ceiling. This statement directly boosted the entire chip sector. The chip index also hit a new high.



Financial stocks are also not to be outdone. As market risk appetite recovers, bank stocks have rebounded collectively, and investor sentiment has significantly improved. However, there is some disappointing news from the pharmaceutical sector—Liraglutide's approval for weight loss has been delayed, which may affect future expectations.

Also worth noting are geopolitical developments. Under the US-Taiwan trade agreement framework, long-term investment has reached $50 billion, and tariffs have reportedly been negotiated down to 15%, which is a positive for the industry chain.

But there are also challenges behind the scenes. The rising costs due to increased storage chip prices are accumulating, and the production costs of the next-generation iPhone may be affected. This indicates that while the chip industry chain is booming, cost management pressures are also increasing.

The chip industry really can't hold on anymore, with the AI ceiling constantly rising, and TSMC's words carry weight.

TSMC's recent move is quite aggressive, but we need to watch out for the rising prices of storage chips. With iPhone costs going up, what will Apple do?

TSMC hits a new high again; this wave of chip growth really never ends Apple's next-generation cost pressure is increasing; this isn't really good news Pharmaceutical stocks were caught off guard; delays in weight-loss drug approvals are truly disappointing Storage chip prices are rising; ultimately, consumers will have to pay the bill 15% tariffs sound high, but it depends on how things develop next

TSMC hits a new high again, how much longer will the story of the AI ceiling last?

TSMC has risen again. I believe in the statement that AI is the ceiling, but the prices of storage chips are really annoying. With such high cost pressures, how does Apple manage to absorb it?

tbh the whole "ai demand ceiling doesn't exist" narrative feels way too clean... technically speaking, nobody's actually validated their projection models with sufficient rigor. like, tsmc saying this right before earnings? requires further auditing imo
