Global market volatility and AI-driven tech shifts

Overview

Global financial markets continue to experience volatility driven by shifting economic data, interest rate uncertainty, and technological trends. In China, technology and growth stocks in Shenzhen have seen significant rebounds, supported by government acceleration of ‘six networks’ to bolster AI infrastructure. In the AI sector, DeepSeek has implemented peak and off-peak API pricing, while NVIDIA AI server prices have reportedly risen by over 15%. In the United States, market sentiment is shaped by inflation concerns, federal budget deficits, and political tensions regarding Federal Reserve independence.

In Taiwan, the stock market is navigating a period of significant volatility and a widening liquidity gap between large-cap stocks and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs). While the market has recently seen rebounds driven by heavyweights like TSMC, there is an increasing transition from broad index-driven growth toward sector-specific rotation within the AI supply chain.

Investors are shifting focus toward verifying actual earnings and EPS growth to justify current valuations. Key growth areas include AI chips and ASICs, power and thermal management, high-speed PCB/CCL, memory, advanced packaging, and AI interconnects. Specifically, MediaTek is gaining attention for its role in AI ASIC and Google TPU business, while Delta Electronics is noted for its involvement in AI data center infrastructure, such as high-power power supplies and cooling solutions. Despite a positive fundamental outlook supported by record export orders, analysts warn of risks including high US Treasury yields, energy price volatility, and potential profit-taking.
