This week:
Topic of the week: semiconductors and the US/China Technology race
- Semiconductors have become one of the most important industries in the world because they are at the heart of economic growth, security and technological innovation;
- Despite colossal investments in this industry, China is lagging behind, making it dependent on the rest of the world, especially Taiwan and South Korea;
- This has not escaped the US administration, which has increased trade sanctions against its technology giant Huawei, but also by putting pressure on chip suppliers, such as Taiwan;
- “Dual circulation” is China’s strategy to be less dependent on the rest of the world.

- Powell fails to provide guidance, yields press higher
