Any additional U.S. restrictions on chips could affect key sectors in China, leading to potential volatility in FXI's price.

SPY, a broad market ETF, may see minor impacts from the U.S.-China chip restriction debates, reflecting broader market sentiment and geopolitical tensions.
While SPY tracks a wide range of sectors, the geopolitical tensions and regulatory moves between the U.S. and China over chip technology could indirectly affect market sentiment and thus SPY's performance. The impact is expected to be less direct and significant compared to sector-specific ETFs like SMH.
