Earthquake in Japan Hits Semiconductor Industry

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Kyushu island in southwestern Japan, resulting in multiple casualties. Rescue teams continue search operations in the rubble of a shopping mall. The earthquake affected a region critical to the country's semiconductor industry. The area is home to major semiconductor companies such as TSMC and Tokyo Electron. While the impact on these facilities is not yet clear, concerns over supply chain disruptions in the sector are rising. Authorities report that damage assessment efforts are ongoing. Aftershocks continue in the region following the earthquake. The Japanese government has dispatched emergency relief teams to the disaster area and initiated efforts to repair infrastructure damage. The situation at semiconductor production facilities could put pressure on global chip supply. This is not investment advice.

📊 TSM — Piyasa Yorumu

▼ down · 70%

The news has heightened supply concerns in the semiconductor sector, potentially putting pressure on TSM shares. Technical indicators already present a weak outlook, with the price trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The RSI has fallen to 42, below the neutral zone, and the MACD line is trending negatively below the signal line. The 5.45% decline over the past 24 hours suggests that selling pressure may persist. While a short-term downtrend is likely to continue, the absence of oversold conditions may limit any rebound buying.

📊 ASML — Piyasa Yorumu

▼ down · 70%

ASML shares have fallen 11.7% in the last 24 hours, with the RSI approaching oversold territory at 31.4. However, the earthquake in Japan, which has impacted the semiconductor sector, creates a negative catalyst in the short term. The MACD line remains below the signal line and in negative territory, indicating continued bearish momentum. The price is trading below both the 20-day (1659.6) and 50-day (1736.2) moving averages, pointing to a weak technical structure. Disruptions and uncertainty in the supply chain caused by the earthquake could generate additional selling pressure, particularly for semiconductor equipment manufacturers like ASML. Nevertheless, the RSI in oversold territory suggests that the possibility of a short-term rebound should not be entirely dismissed.
