Odaily reported that KobeissiLetter's analysis pointed out that Intel's stock price rose by about 9% in a single day after Trump announced that chips would be jointly designed and manufactured domestically in the United States. This development constitutes a policy-level benefit for the entire semiconductor industry, and the market anticipates that investments in domestic wafer manufacturing and advanced processes in the US will continue to receive support. However, for the crypto market, if US chip production capacity shifts more toward consumer electronics and defense-related orders, it could indirectly reduce ASIC mining rig supply, potentially impacting the mining hardware cycle. Therefore, Intel's production capacity trends are viewed as a “substantive signal for reassessment” for Bitcoin and the crypto mining market.

According to data released by The Kobeissi Letter, the semiconductor sector accounts for approximately 18.8% of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500, reaching a record high. This figure has more than tripled since 2022, while the semiconductor index SOX has risen about 546% during the same period. Currently, the weighting of semiconductors in the S&P 500 exceeds more than half of the peak level during the 2000 internet bubble. The U.S. equity market is concentrating towards the AI and semiconductor industry chain, and technology stocks are exerting a historically extreme influence on the overall index.
