In addition, there&nbsp;are no clear signs on&nbsp;what&nbsp;the next driver for their earnings could be thus leading&nbsp;to a selloff in the&nbsp;sector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell testified during a two-day congressional hearing and as expected, nothing new was said&nbsp;despite a 5.4% increase in CPI from a year earlier. Powell stuck to the same script&nbsp;again&nbsp;and pushed back on inflation fears, assuring markets that inflation is&nbsp;transitory and current accommodative policies will remain.&nbsp;The Fed is currently buying $120 billion of assets per month and has pledged to keep up that pace \u201cuntil substantial further progress\u201d has been made toward its goals of maximum employment and 2% inflation.&nbsp;The Fed\u2019s stance underscores a growing divergence among global central banks&nbsp;such as New Zealand U.K&nbsp;who are&nbsp;turning hawkish in response to growing price&nbsp;pressures,&nbsp;leaving investors&nbsp;to&nbsp;wonder how long&nbsp;the Fed couldremain dovish.&nbsp;Major U.S indices ended the week lower&nbsp;as markets recalibrate their expectations with base effects becoming less favourable and shortage pressure rotating away from goods towards services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rippling Effects of Global Chip Short<\/strong><strong>age<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the lockdowns\u00a0over the past year,\u00a0high\u00a0demand for\u00a0PCs, phones\u00a0andgaming consoles has\u00a0been\u00a0a big win for the semiconductor industry that produces these tiny chips to power the devices. However, as\u00a0the\u00a0demand\u00a0surge is far\u00a0outstripping\u00a0the supply capacity,\u00a0the world is\u00a0currently\u00a0in the grips of a global chip shortage\u00a0which affects various industries such as automotive and smartphones\u2014though carmakers have it the worst.\u00a0In its latest earnings release,\u00a0Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company\u00a0(TSMC), the world\u2019s largest chip maker,\u00a0expects semiconductor supply to remain tight into 2022\u00a0and plans to ramp up production by 60%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although revenue was reported better than expected, profitability\u00a0came under pressure as the\u00a0upfront costs of\u00a0developing and driving production\u00a0is dragging\u00a0its\u00a0earnings\u00a0until\u00a0economies of scale\u00a0can be\u00a0achieved.\u00a0Witha technology lead over its competitors and a well-diversified base\u00a0including Apple &amp; Nvidia, TSMC is poised to benefit from the stronger demand\u00a0in\u00a0smartphones, IoT and automotive-related applications. However, a\u00a0U.S-China clash over Taiwan\u00a0remains\u00a0as one of the world\u2019s biggest geopolitical risks\u00a0and TSMC could find itself caught in the crossfire.\u00a0TSMC\u00a0shares\u00a0dropped 7% since its earnings release as investors decidedly placed higher emphasis on its weaker margins. The\u00a0pain extended across the chip sector, with Nvidia,\u00a0NXP Semiconductors\u00a0and\u00a0Micron\u00a0all down at least 4%\u00a0for the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chart Of The Week<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" data-attachment-id=\"3762\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/weekly-market-commentary-18-july-2021\/screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8-16-13-pm\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM.png\" data-orig-size=\"1341,638\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2021-07-17 at 8.16.13 PM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-300x143.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-1024x487.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-1024x487.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-1024x487.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-300x143.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-768x365.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-696x331.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-1068x508.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM-883x420.png 883w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Screenshot-2021-07-17-at-8.16.13-PM.png 1341w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Important Information and Disclosure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\">Equity Price Level and Returns: All returns represent the total return for stated period.
