TSMC Adjusts Pricing Strategy in the US

In a significant move, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) is reportedly increasing its prices at United States foundries by a substantial 30%. This adjustment comes as a direct response to the higher operational costs encountered in the US compared to Taiwan.

Impact on Major Tech Companies

With the ongoing uncertainties surrounding US President Donald Trump's tariff policies, there's a noticeable shift in how customers are placing their semiconductor orders. Companies like Apple Inc. and Nvidia Corp., which regularly engage TSMC for their semiconductor needs, might now be opting to order directly from TSMC's US-based factories.
