China Chip Competition Fears Trigger Global Tech Selloff, Deutsche Bank Says
Renewed concerns over Chinese semiconductor competition and AI investment spending sparked a sharp decline in global chip stocks, with Asian tech indices and ASML among the hardest hit.
Deutsche Bank strategists noted that a renewed wave of anxiety around Chinese competition and AI capital expenditure triggered a sharp sell-off in global semiconductor shares. Asian technology indices were hit particularly hard, while chip-related stocks in the U.S. and Europe also tumbled.
Among individual names, ASML was called out as declining alongside other semiconductor firms. The report linked the weakness directly to fears that escalating Chinese chip ambitions could intensify pricing pressure and undercut demand for Western-made equipment.
The sell-off underscores how sensitive global tech markets remain to shifts in the AI investment narrative and geopolitical dynamics in the semiconductor supply chain.
