A 358% surge year-to-date! The global AI chip industry is being bottlenecked by helium shortages!
Global helium supply is tightening, continuously driving up spot prices. The destruction of facilities in Qatar and export controls imposed by Russia have cut approximately 40% of the global helium supply within six weeks. Domestic spot prices surged 175% in a single week, with cumulative increases reaching 358% year-to-date. Helium is an irreplaceable cooling medium for EUV lithography and is critically relied upon for advanced nodes below 7nm. The shortage has raised chip production costs and is silently eroding yields for advanced nodes. If the crisis persists, production capacity for cutting-edge processes and the supply chain for AI chips will face further disruptions.
Warnings of continuously rising oil prices have emerged, but why has the U.S. stock market remained unfazed?

However, market breadth has narrowed to its lowest level since the dot-com bubble, with the VIX climbing back above 20. The entire rally is based on the single assumption that 'conflicts will eventually be resolved.' Should a ceasefire collapse, this sandcastle will crumble.
