市场此前广泛担忧中东氦气出口中断将对亚洲芯片产业造成打击，但现在分析师们担忧，能源加上半导体关键材料短缺的双重压力，将在芯 片行业引发一场黑天鹅事件。 中东冲突可能将对全球芯片行业造成毁灭性打击，而市场目前还未对此风险进行充分定价。 巴克莱银行研究团队指出，中东冲突已经超过三周，这与中东原油和天然气运往北亚的典型运输周期相吻合。随着时间推移，能源中断的影 响将逐步显现，市场的关注点也将从石油价格会否突破每桶100美元，转移到半导体行业能否维持其电力和原材料供应。 分析机构牛津经济研究院则预计，由于中东冲突导致卡塔尔向东亚供应液化天然气中断，东亚地区的投资和工业生产增长将放缓0.4个百分 点。 牛津经济研究院尤其警告半导体行业面临的风险。其中， 由 于中国 台湾 地区和韩国对天然气的依赖程度较高，因此极容易受到能源短缺 的影响，而半导 体产品的生产对电力压力尤其敏感，持续的供应限制最终将影响芯片生产，并对整条供应链产生溢出影响。 多米诺骨牌 而考虑到人工智能建设对全球经济的推动作用，如果中东冲突加剧，人工智能竞赛中的所有参与者都会感受到余震。 下载财联社APP获取更多资讯 准确 快速 权威 专业 7x24h电报 ...
