华侨 银行的Selena Ling表示，由于春节假期落在2月份，新加坡的非 石油国内出口在2月可能会下降。 不过，出口可能在3月份反弹。该首席经济学家在一封电子邮件中表示，全球 人工智能、 云计算和高性 能计算芯片的使用增加，继续推动着对电子产品的短期需求。非电子产品，如药品和 黄金，可能会继 续受到支撑，不过前者仍对全球需求的周期性变化敏感，而后者则容易受到市场情绪波动的影响。Ling 补充称，区域需求状况也大体保持韧性。 ...

Group 1 - TSMC's pricing strategy was conservative from 2005 to 2019, with an average wafer price increase of only $32 over 15 years, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of just 0.1% [2] - In 2019, TSMC embraced EUV technology, leading to an average selling price (ASP) growth of 15.9% annually, resulting in a cumulative increase of 133% over six years [3] - TSMC's gross margin per wafer is projected to reach 3.3 times the 2019 level by 2025, indicating strong pricing power and the ability to pass increased costs to downstream customers [3] Group 2 - Prior to 2019, a $1 increase in production costs led to only a $1.43 increase in wafer price, yielding a profit increment of $0.43; post-2019, the same cost increase results in a $2.31 price rise, boosting profit increment to over $1.30 [3] - TSMC's success is attributed to strong demand from clients like NVIDIA, AMD, and Apple for AI and high-performance computing chips, which prioritize performance over price [3] - Unlike Samsung, which faces yield issues limiting its EUV capacity to in-house use, TSMC has established deep partnerships with top global chip designers through its Open Innovation Platform (OIP) [4] Group 3 - The current market structure, characterized by systemic supply shortages and high capital intensity, is expected to remain unchallenged until a true competitor emerges [5]
