Bitget异动解读2026/10/08 17:30Interpretation of TSMC’s Sharp Decline on October 8
Keywords: AI sector weakness, rising oil prices, cooling cooperation
1. On October 8, the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes showed a hawkish tone and international oil prices rose significantly. US tech and chip stocks generally weakened, with companies like Nvidia and Texas Instruments seeing declines, causing pressure on the sector that includes TSMC.
2. On October 8, it was revealed that OpenAI’s annualized revenue was lower than previous market estimates, pressuring related artificial intelligence companies and chip stocks and dampening short-term expectations for the AI industry chain.
3. On October 8, Elon Musk stated that Tesla and SpaceX would build and operate Terafab independently, with TSMC only potentially leasing some facilities. Expectations for TSMC’s involvement in the project cooled.
4. On October 8, TSMC announced that its September revenue decreased by 0.6% month-over-month. Detailed third-quarter results and profit margin guidance are still pending disclosure on October 15. Given high valuation expectations, the strong revenues were not enough to fully offset short-term profit-taking pressure.

According to data from the Central Bank of Russia, in September, retail investments in Russian corporate bonds increased by approximately 158 billion rubles, with asset-backed securities accounting for nearly half of this amount. That month, the issuance scale of such securities reached a record high of about 479 billion rubles. Retail investors also continued allocating funds to money market exchange-traded funds. In contrast, stock purchases fell to their lowest level since January 2026. In the Russian market in September, stocks of oil and gas enterprises and IT companies were the most profitable. Over a 12-month period, corporate bonds, money market instruments, and ruble deposits generated the highest total returns. The focus going forward is whether the trend of retail funds favoring fixed income and money market instruments will continue, and if the sluggish stock buying will see a turnaround.
