Chip stocks: Why Secretary Raimondo’s China visit matters

ประเทศไทย ข่าว ข่าว

U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visited China this week in a bid to ease some of the tensions between the United States and China. Axios Global Tech Correspondent Ryan Heath joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss what this means for chipmakers and for the future of U.S. and China relations. Investors and chipmakers should be “mildly encouraged” about communication between the United States and China, Heath says. “The more transparency, the more dialogue, the better for you as a chipmaker,” Heath explains. “U.S. exports to China are still basically at record levels and that also includes for some forms of chips” and the “broad environment is still reasonable encouraging,” Heath notes. Heath says Raimondo 'is extremely well regarded by the White House' and 'is treated as a serious player by the people she is talking to in Beijing, you know, that’s exactly the right person that you want there having these discussions. It doesn’t guarantee any outcomes in the future, but it gives you a solid basis for having a more functional relationship.”
