The logo of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is displayed at its fabrication plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan Taipei (Taiwan) Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) saw its share of the global foundry market rise to almost 70 per cent in 2025 amid booming demand for artificial intelligence. Focus Taiwan, quoting the market information advisory firm TrendForce Corp, said that the contract chipmaker posted USD 122.54 billion in sales, up 36.1 per cent from a year earlier, accounting for 69.9 per cent of the global market. Its share was up from 64.4 per cent in 2024." TSMC's closest rival, Samsung Electronics, was a distant second, posting USD 12.63 billion in sales, down 3.9 per cent from a year earlier, for a 7.2 per cent share of the global market. "In the fourth quarter of 2025 alone, TSMC's share of the global foundry market stood at 70.4 per cent, down from 71.0 per cent in the third quarter, while its sales rose 2.0 per cent from a quarter earlier to USD 33.72 billion," Focus Taiwan report highlighted. Although TSMC's shipments in the October to December period fell slightly from a quarter earlier, strong demand for its 3-nanometer process pushed average selling prices higher, boosting revenue, the TrendForce said in the Focus Taiwan report. The global foundry market's 10 largest firms generated USD 169.47 billion in combined sales in 2025, up 26.3 per cent from a year earlier.

Mohd Azrin/iStock via Getty Images By Seema Shah, Chief Global Strategist | Christian Floro, Market Strategist | Magdalena Ocampo, Market Strategist Situation update The coordinated U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran on February 28 and Iran’s subsequent retaliation have pushed the region into its most volatile military confrontation in decades. With fighting still underway, commercial transit through the Strait of Hormuz has effectively ground to a halt, sending oil flows through the chokepoint to near zero. Damage to energy infrastructure and rapidly filling storage tanks have forced several Gulf producers to curtail output. Most consequentially, QatarEnergy has shut down the Ras Laffan facility, which accounts for roughly 20% of global LNG supply. This represents the single largest disruption to energy supply in modern history. Unsurprisingly, oil and gas markets have become the focus of investors. Crude prices, already trending higher on geopolitical risk, have climbed from around $51/bbl at the start of 2026 to above $100/bbl, briefly topping $120/bbl early this week. 1 Six-month Brent futures have climbed as well, now above $80/bbl, suggesting that investors are beginning to price in a longer conflict. Although President Trump has signaled optimism that the conflict could be short-lived, the path forward remains highly uncertain. Ultimately, the economic impact will depend on how long shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz remain closed and how quickly oil and gas capacity can return after fighting subsides. Crude oil prices Brent, daily, dollars per barrel, 2007–present Market reaction so far Equities U.S. equities have shown notable resilience. Nine trading days into the conflict, the S&P 500 is down around 3% and sits less than 5% below its late January peak. 2 For context, the index fell 12–13% during the early phases of both the COVID shock and the Liberation Day episode in 2025. There are two dynamics that likely explain the muted move: Equity markets tend ...

Anthropic和美国军方剪不断理还乱的关系在美伊战争中越发复杂 当地时间2026年3月10日，比利时布鲁塞尔，这张照片插图中智能手机屏幕显示Anthropic标志。图：视觉中国 【财新网】 在伊朗南部的米纳卜市，伊朗海军基地的同一个街区里，坐落着一座白色女子小学教学楼。2月28日，美国突袭伊朗的过程中，海军基地受袭击，这栋教学楼也被炸成废墟，学校中至少165名7至12岁女童死亡。 据现场拍摄的画面，一颗极像是美国战斧巡航导弹的炸弹从空中落下，坠地后喷出一股灰黑色的浓烟。然而，美国政府并不承认是自己扔下了炸弹。“‘战斧’是最强的一种导弹，也一直在出售给别国使用…伊朗就有一些，他们还希望能拥有更多，”美国总统特朗普在X月X日回答媒体质疑时“甩锅”，并称此事正在调查中。

2026年，A股资金在科技周期和避险板块间反复徘徊。 光模块依旧是科技板块的焦点，可是，一线龙头也涨不动了。 过去两年，“易中天”占据绝对主导。中际旭创、新易盛和天孚通信累计涨幅超300% 。 估值已被推至历史高位，中际旭创市盈率高达70倍，新易盛52倍，天孚通信138倍。 于是，资金开始积极寻找新洼地，二线供应商华工科技与光迅科技迎来爆发。 华工科技连续12个交易日上涨，累计涨幅超80%，市值最高突破1300亿元。而光迅科技也在三个交易日内大涨23.5%。 聪明的资金，到底看上了啥？ 光又进一步 前不久，A股市场围绕“光进铜退”炒作了一把Micro LED。 概念单日涨幅高达8%，20家企业集体封板，华灿光电、三安光电等龙头个股股价短期内实现大幅飙升。 原因竟然是， Micro LED技术在AI算力领域找到新应用——CPO（共封装光学）。 在AI算力基础设施的代际革命中，光通信行业正经历架构跨越，可插拔模块正向CPO（共封装光学）技术演进，直接威胁到传统铜缆的市场份额。 传统数据中心短距互连高度依赖铜缆，DAC和AEC等铜缆具有低成本和低功耗的优势，机柜内部的GPU互连主要采用这种方式（Scale Up）。 光模块插在交换机面板上，数据信号要经过这样一个路径： 交换机芯片→ PCB 板上的铜走线 → 连接器 → 光模块。 当传输速率突破800Gb/s时，铜缆物理衰减变得致命。信号每过一英寸就急剧衰减，整体链路损耗高达22分贝，99.3%的信号在传输中丢失。 系统必须增加功耗来补偿损耗。单端口功耗飙升至30瓦，有效距离不到3米。到了1.6Tb/s速率，距离更缩短至2米内。 但现在的AI 训练集群，动不动就要把几万甚至十几万个加速器连在一起，铜缆不仅挤占空间，而且不利于散热。 英伟达的GB300 NVL72机柜就是个典型案例，单机柜容纳了72颗高性能GPU和36颗CPU ，需要塞进5000根高速差分对铜缆，总长近5000米。这不仅消耗1.36吨铜，还占去机柜25%的宝贵空间。 而CPO的做法很直接：既然信号在电气路径上损耗大，那就把这个路径缩到最短—— 把光学器件与交换芯片封装在同一基板上。 架构创新带来的改变立竿见影，信号传输距离从几十厘米骤降至几毫米，信号损耗不仅大幅度降低的同时设备带宽密度提升数倍，数据搬运的端到端延迟被控制在微妙以内。 Nvidia的Spect...

Based purely on statistics, Wall Street has been thrilled to have President Donald Trump in the White House. When his first, non-consecutive term ended in January 2021, the iconic Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 0.26%), broad-based S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.61%), and innovation-fueled Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC 0.93%) had rallied by 57%, 70%, and 142%, respectively. Since Trump's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2025, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite had gained 9%, 12%, and 14%, through the closing bell on March 6, 2026. While the S&P 500 or Dow Jones Industrial Average have finished higher in 26 of the last 33 presidential terms, the annualized return of Wall Street's major stock indexes has been notably higher than the average under Donald Trump. But this doesn't mean there aren't headwinds brewing for the stock market. At any given time, one or more catalysts are threatening to pull the rug out from beneath investors. While investors may be inclined to point the finger at the president's tariff and trade policy as a possible elevator-down catalyst for stocks, tariffs are far from the biggest issue Wall Street is contending with. If a stock market crash were to ensue under President Trump, one or more of three catalysts (none of which has to do with tariffs) would likely trigger it. The Iran war risks sparking an oil price shock for the ages A little over two weeks ago, the prospect of a geopolitical event roiling Wall Street was slim. But on Feb. 28, U.S. and Israeli armed forces began attacks against Iran. This conflict, widely known as the "Iran war," threatens to end the outsize stock returns that investors have become accustomed to with Trump in the Oval Office. According to data compiled by Carson Group's Chief Market Strategist, Ryan Detrick, there have been over 40 major geopolitical events, including wars, assassination attempts, invasions, terrorist attacks, and financial crises, since the early stages of World War II. Many of these events did not lead to a stock m...

Steve Borthwick must throw off the shackles in Paris to inject some attacking energy into his far-too predictable side The inquest into England’s Six Nations campaign has already started and when that is the case before the championship has even finished it is never a good sign. Everyone has their own opinions on what is wrong and I’m sure that is the same within the squad too. When you are on runs like England are, different players come up with different reasons for their problems and different fixes – and that makes the situation all the more difficult. If there is one thing holding England back it is their gameplan. I don’t say that as a reaction to these three defeats, I felt that they stagnated during the autumn and tightened things up despite chalking up four victories. The best illustration I can give is the 2024 tournament. England had lost to Scotland , went to York in the fallow week, contrived to throw off the shackles in attack and it paid immediate dividends.

When the England and Wales Cricket Board promised, in a glaze of beaming positivity, that the Hundred would bring a new audience, new energy, a shiny new online presence, it probably didn’t have in mind a barrage of hate-threats and terrorism accusations against the 34-year-old female owner of what was previously the Northern Superchargers. But hey, it’s all energy. It’s eyeballs. Can we clip some of this up? Just blue-skying here, but what are the hate-threat merch opportunities? Is there any way, and there are no bad ideas in this room, we can leverage some really strong online nuclear war chat? Before we get into this, a moment of housekeeping. Masters of the message as ever, the ECB has this week denied the existence of its own shadow ban, the reported directive that England players are not permitted to talk about the Ashes at the current round of county media days. Apparently this was originally the plan. It’s not any more. Not formally anyway. But good luck getting anything out of an ashen-faced Matt Potts now. And to the ECB’s credit this is once again a thrillingly forward-thinking strategy. As in, no British sporting body has ever seriously tried to enact a blanket ban on the mention of a now completed sporting contest. Then again, Rob Key worked in the media for a bit so he’s basically playing 6D chess here. Never question his wizardry. But just in case there is any danger of losing some details along the way, and as a favour to a busy governing body, here is a list of the things that have now been expertly managed out of – and certainly NOT back into – the spotlight by this expert sleight of hand, never to be mentioned again in the national sports media. These include: the England captain openly lying to the public via ECB media channels over his altercation with a bouncer the night before a game in New Zealand; and Key himself squirming like a sixth-former caught smoking behind the CCF hut over talk of England players’ activities in Noosa. Safely tucked ...

After years of arrests, disappearances and mass killings of protesters, the hatred in Iran from some quarters for the hardline, oppressive governing regime had boiled into such a desperate rage that many believed Donald Trump’s promise that the US would “come to their rescue”. Now, after a fortnight of war, with US and Israeli airstrikes killing hundreds as they hit residential blocks, shops, fuel depots and even a school, the mood is changing. “They are also lying! Like the regime has been lying to us,” said Amir*, a student at the University of Tehran. “You are all worse than each other.” The anti-regime protester has let himself hope for more from the US and Israel, which on the first day of the war had swiftly killed Iran’s most feared and powerful man, the supreme leader. Yet the regime lives on, with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s son quickly appointed to replace him, while Israel has widened and intensified its attacks on the country of more than 90 million people. “We’re tense. We are really tense,” said Amir. “I feel worse when I am alone. Khamenei’s death has left us with this weird sense of emptiness. Like I am now forced to think about the future, which seems so chaotic right now. We never got to look at him in the eye. He died just like that? Without facing justice for what he did to us?” View image in fullscreen The US-Israeli destruction of Shahran oil depot resulted in toxic rain falling on people in Tehran. Photograph: Anadolu/Getty Images The turning point for Amir was the Israeli strikes on fuel depots in Tehran last week, with one attack on the Shahran oil depot overshadowing the capital with black smoke. A rain shower later covered trees, homes and cars with layers of toxic oil. “I genuinely believe now they [the US and Israel] didn’t have a plan. I was still hoping I was wrong, but the Shahran attack changed the way I look at this war right now,” he said. “If the regime is what you want to hit, even if you think these depots were used by the regime, ...

Dinner by Heston was once one of the world’s most revered restaurants, known for its decadent and unusual dishes such as the “meat fruit”. But Heston Blumenthal announced this week that he is winding down operations at the two Michelin-star restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Knightsbridge, London, saying it was because the tenancy had “finished”. However, current and former workers at Dinner claim the restaurant has been going downhill for years after Blumenthal fell out with his right-hand man, Ashley Palmer-Watts, who created the menu and ran the restaurant day to day before he left the business. “Closing the restaurant was not Heston’s choice whatsoever,” a senior source from the Mandarin Oriental told the Guardian. “The hotel chose not to renew the lease. “It never performed particularly well after Ashley left, which is shocking as it was potentially the busiest and most successful two Michelin-star restaurant in the world. It went off the boil. When Ashley left, so did most of the core team.” He claimed the restaurant was “empty” on Sunday lunchtimes “which was extraordinary. If it’s not successful, even with two stars, it’s not bringing any money in, then, difficult decisions have to be made.” A representative for Blumenthal disputed that the restaurant was underperforming, adding that it was a “highly regarded and popular part of our portfolio”. Blumenthal’s restaurant group, which includes the three Michelin-star Fat Duck in Bray as well as the Hind’s Head pub, has also been struggling with debts. Last year, SL6 Ltd, the company behind the restaurants, posted a £2.1m loss, up from £1.4m the previous year. Directors at the company blamed “wage inflation” and “economic uncertainties” that “affect customers’ willingness to spend their disposable income” in the restaurant’s annual accounts. Last month, HMRC issued a winding-up petition against the firm. Blumenthal’s spokesperson said these accounts did not relate to Dinner by Heston, the finances of wh...

When the alert arrives on his phone, Yashwant Deshmukh knows exactly what to do. The Dubai-based political analyst moves away from the windows, waits for the second message confirming the missile has been intercepted, and then goes back to work. “It has become a drill,” he said.

Glenn Hoddle was in tears in the dressing room. Others sat in disbelief, wondering what the future held. Tottenham were the first English club in the 20th century to win the league and FA Cup Double, in 1961, and the first to lift a European trophy when they won the Cup Winners’ Cup two years later. They were renowned for playing attractive football and the goals of Jimmy Greaves. Under their manager Bill Nicholson, they added two League Cups and the Uefa Cup at the start of the 1970s. And now they had been relegated. Confirmation arrived on 7 May 1977 via a 5-0 thrashing at Maine Road by Manchester City, who were challenging for the First Division title. Peter Taylor was in the dressing room that day and remembers the “shock” and a “rubbish feeling”. View image in fullscreen Pat Jennings fails to prevent a goal on the day that Spurs were relegated from the First Division in 1977 at Maine Road. Photograph: Granger/Alamy Hoddle, a promising teenager just breaking through, wrote in his autobiography of being “overcome by guilt after failing to save my boyhood club from relegation and letting the fans down. It was a dreadful feeling, scarring me inside.” What happened to reach this catastrophic point? How had one of the country’s biggest clubs dropped out of the top flight? And can lessons learned from Spurs’ unlikeliest relegation help the current team, who are sucked into a struggle with Igor Tudor unable to halt the freefall? “Sad Spurs hit rock bottom,” read a headline in the Sunday Mirror the day after relegation. Pat Jennings, considered the best goalkeeper in the world, told reporters: “Relegation has not just happened today – it’s been happening for three years.” He was referring to Nicholson’s resignation after losing the first four games of the 1974-75 season, ending a 16-year managerial reign and sending “shock waves through the dressing room”, Jennings recalled in his 1983 autobiography. In truth, the Spurs empire had been crumbling in the seasons before th...

China announced visa-free entry for Canadian and British nationals on February 17, allowing citizens of the two countries to cross the border and stay for up to 30 days with no more than a passport. The move was just the latest expansion of China’s visa-free policies, which have eased entry rules for citizens of dozens of nations over the past few years as part of an effort to boost tourism. Immigration officials now allow travellers from dozens of countries to stay without a visa for up to 10 days on a transit basis, while a growing list of foreign nationals are permitted to remain for 30 days without a visa. There are also policies allowing citizens of other nations to enter China visa-free under certain conditions. Advertisement The measures have proved highly popular with travellers, as obtaining a visa to enter mainland China often requires filling out pages of paperwork, paying more than US$100 and waiting days for the documents to be processed. The National Immigration Administration said in January that more than 30 million foreign nationals entered China without a visa last year, a year-on-year increase of nearly 50 per cent. Advertisement Here are five ways for travellers to avoid a lengthy application process and enter mainland China without a visa.

Key Points Wall Street analysts see substantial upside in the technology and consumer discretionary sectors, which account for 80% of the Nasdaq Composite's performance. Nvidia is likely to maintain its leadership in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure due to its full-stack strategy, and investors have reason to believe AI spending will continue to increase. MercadoLibre dominates the e-commerce market in Latin America, but the company also has a strong presence in advertising and fintech services. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › The Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) achieved an average annual return of 17% in the past decade, driven by the proliferation of cloud computing, digital advertising, and artificial intelligence (AI). The index is down 4% year to date, meaning it would need to add 21% between now and December to match its 10-year average. That may sound like a long shot, but Wall Street's consensus forecast says the technology and consumer discretionary sectors will advance 33% and 22%, respectively, during the next year. And those sectors account for 80% of the Nasdaq's performance, which means the index could conceivably climb 21% by December. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need.

Meta Platforms Inc. stock (ISIN: US30303M1027) dropped sharply to $613.71 on March 13, 2026, driven by reports of delays in its next-gen AI model Avocado and fresh rumors of massive layoffs to fund AI push. Meta Platforms Inc. stock (ISIN: US30303M1027), the parent of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, closed at $613.71 on March 13, 2026, marking a 3.83% decline amid high trading volume of $11.67 billion. The sell-off followed reports that Meta's anticipated next-generation AI model, dubbed Avocado, has underperformed internal benchmarks against rivals from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic, delaying its launch. Investors reacted to these setbacks alongside rumors of significant layoffs as CEO Mark Zuckerberg prioritizes AI infrastructure investments. As of: 14.03.2026 By Elena Voss, Senior Tech Equity Analyst - Focus on US Big Tech and European Investor Implications. Current Market Snapshot for Meta Platforms Meta Platforms shares experienced heavy selling pressure on March 13, with the stock dipping to $613.71 after a 3.83% drop, accompanied by elevated volume that ranked it fifth in market activity. Pre-market trading on March 14 showed some resilience, with shares ticking up toward $672 in early indications tied to discussions around the Llama 4 'Behemoth' model, though the prior day's losses erased recent gains. Year-to-date, the stock remains up modestly, trading within a 52-week range of $479.80 to $796.25, reflecting broader volatility in AI-driven tech names. Analyst consensus remains bullish, with a 'Buy' rating and an average price target of $829.66, implying over 12% upside from recent levels, supported by 39 buy ratings and strong earnings growth projections of 13.15%. However, the immediate catalyst for the downturn centers on AI development hurdles, raising questions about Meta's competitive positioning in a sector where innovation speed is paramount.
