Semiconductor
The chips at the heart of all modern electronics; their supply chain is a focus of industrial policy and U.S.–China competition.
Coverage of Semiconductor is holding steady : 27 signals on the latest tracked day, up 440% from its three-week baseline of 5, across 8 domains (down from 30 a week ago). That makes it the #242 most-covered of the 337 concerns we track.
Semiconductor is steady by its own history. Its normal rhythm is about 5 signals a day across 8 domains (45 tracked days). A real move would be a day at 7+ signals — 25% above that baseline, the bar our trend read calls accelerating — or a spread into domains beyond its usual 8. That is the move that would push it up the Wire. It sits on our AI & Compute Desk.
What’s changed
7 of the last 7 tracked days ran above the three-week baseline — a sustained move, not a one-day spike.
