Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve's decision to end quantitative tightening (QT) has sparked discussions about a potential policy shift, but it should not be interpreted as the beginning of a new easing cycle [1][2]. Group 1: Federal Reserve's Actions - The Federal Reserve announced it will end QT on December 1, which is about six months earlier than previously expected [1]. - The Fed will stop reducing its Treasury holdings but will continue to let approximately $15 billion of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) mature each month, replacing them with an equal amount of short-term Treasury bills (T-bills) [1]. - This operation is characterized as an asset swap rather than an increase in reserves, focusing on changing the composition of the balance sheet rather than expanding its size [1]. Group 2: Distinction from Quantitative Easing (QE) - It is crucial to distinguish this operation from quantitative easing (QE), which involves large-scale asset purchases to inject liquidity into the financial system [2]. - The Fed's current plan is merely an internal adjustment of its asset portfolio, not an increase in bank reserves, thus misinterpreting it as a restart of QE is incorrect [2]. - The cumulative impact of stopping the $5 billion monthly reduction in Treasury holdings is relatively minor, amounting to only $30 billion in the context of the Fed's large portfolio [2]. Group 3: Future Balance Sheet Expansion - Future expansion of the Fed's balance sheet is expected to occur only under extreme conditions, such as a severe recession or financial crisis, primarily for technical reasons to hedge against cash demand [3]. - The Fed may need to purchase additional Treasury securities to maintain stable reserve levels, potentially increasing its monthly purchases by $10 billion to $15 billion to match cash growth [3]. - This buying behavior is aimed at preventing a decline in reserves rather than increasing them, and should not be overinterpreted as a signal of monetary easing [3]. Group 4: Focus on Treasury's Issuance Strategy - The real focus for asset markets should shift from the Federal Reserve to the U.S. Treasury, which plays a key role in determining how much duration risk the market needs to absorb [4]. - The Treasury's recent strategy has leaned towards increasing the issuance of short-term bonds, and the Fed's purchase of short-term Treasuries may facilitate further short-term bond issuance by the Treasury [4]. - Ultimately, the Treasury's decisions will significantly influence market liquidity and interest rate trends, making it a core variable in market direction [12].

Core Viewpoint - Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang is personally requesting increased chip supply from TSMC, indicating a critical demand for the next generation of AI chips, particularly the Rubin series, amidst a supply shortage in advanced chip manufacturing [1][2]. Group 1: Supply and Demand Dynamics - TSMC's current capacity for N3 chips is projected to reach only 140,000 to 145,000 wafers per month by the end of 2026, despite Nvidia's request for an expansion to 160,000 wafers per month [1][2]. - The supply-demand imbalance suggests that companies relying on advanced processes may face growth bottlenecks, while TSMC, having pricing power, is likely to see a significant increase in profit margins [1][6]. Group 2: Production Strategies - TSMC is not planning to build new N3 fabs but will prioritize existing facilities for next-generation nodes like N2 and A16, focusing on encouraging clients to migrate to leading nodes [2][4]. - The main increase in N3 capacity will come from converting production lines at the Tainan Fab 18, with an expected reduction in N4 utilization rates [2][4]. Group 3: Customer Demand - The demand for N3 process chips is expected to be extremely tight, with major tech companies like Nvidia, Broadcom, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft all vying for capacity [5][6]. - Due to pre-booked capacity by primary clients, demand from cryptocurrency miners is likely to remain unmet in 2026 [5]. Group 4: Financial Implications for TSMC - The scarcity of capacity is translating into improved profitability for TSMC, with clients executing "hot-runs" and "super hot-runs" at prices 50% to 100% higher for expedited delivery [6]. - TSMC's gross margin is projected to reach the low to mid-60% range in the first half of 2026, exceeding current market expectations, supported by a planned price increase of 6% to 10% for advanced processes starting in Q1 2026 [6].
