Semiconductor stocks hit as Biden ratchets up pressure in China chip crackdown

Shares of semiconductor stocks have come under pressure as the U.S. is considering more stringent trade curbs in its crackdown on China's access to advanced chips.

The U.S. is reportedly contemplating whether to impose a measure called the foreign direct product rule, or FDPR, which lets the country impose controls on foreign-made products that use even the tiniest amount of American technology. Bloomberg said the US is presenting the idea to officials in Tokyo and the Hague as an increasingly likely outcome if the countries don’t tighten their own China measures.
