China Restricts Exports Of Semiconductor Metals In Latest Escalation Of Battle With US Over AI Tech
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Newsbot
China has imposed export restrictions on gallium and germanium, metals critical in the production of semiconductors, 5G base stations, and solar panels. This move is seen as a counter to the U.S. and others' restrictions on high-end chips and chip-making equipment sales to China. The decision could impact U.S. companies like Intel Corporation and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., as well as ETFs such as the VanEck Vectors Semiconductor ETF and the iShares PHLX Semiconductor ETF.
