Trump's trade war is hitting semiconductor contracts hard. The perpetual contract <a>$AVGO </a> plummeted 15.35% in the last 24 hours, currently priced at 405.22, yet the funding rate remains positive at 0.00110848%, indicating that the bulls aren't completely defeated just yet. Open Interest (OI) stands at 45407.86 million, hinting at further liquidation risks. On a macro level, Trump has repeatedly threatened to cancel subsidies from the chip act and impose equivalent tariffs on offshore chip manufacturing, making Broadcom, heavily reliant on TSMC, a target. On the micro front, while AVGO is the king of AI custom chips, its fabless model seems politically incorrect under Trump's narrative of bringing manufacturing back, leading to a swift markdown in supply chain valuations. In political and military dimensions, Trump's ambiguous commitments regarding the Taiwan Strait, compounded by his pressure on TSMC to transform into a U.S. chipmaker, have rapidly increased geopolitical risk premiums. Global news and X KOLs are wildly spreading a screenshot from Truth Social. Trump has slammed semiconductor middlemen, causing the market to immediately price in Trump panic. Therefore, this dip for AVGO isn't just a simple correction; it's a structurally bearish logic. The strategy is clear: we're looking short, as prices around 405 have already broken down, with the positive rate providing a safety net for shorting.
