US Stock Market Movement: TSMC plunged on October 8 due to weakness in the AI sector, rising oil prices, and cooling partnerships
Bitget异动解读2026/10/08 17:30Interpretation of TSMC’s Sharp Decline on October 8
Keywords: AI sector weakness, rising oil prices, cooling cooperation
1. On October 8, the Federal Reserve's meeting minutes showed a hawkish tone and international oil prices rose significantly. US tech and chip stocks generally weakened, with companies like Nvidia and Texas Instruments seeing declines, causing pressure on the sector that includes TSMC.
2. On October 8, it was revealed that OpenAI’s annualized revenue was lower than previous market estimates, pressuring related artificial intelligence companies and chip stocks and dampening short-term expectations for the AI industry chain.
3. On October 8, Elon Musk stated that Tesla and SpaceX would build and operate Terafab independently, with TSMC only potentially leasing some facilities. Expectations for TSMC’s involvement in the project cooled.
4. On October 8, TSMC announced that its September revenue decreased by 0.6% month-over-month. Detailed third-quarter results and profit margin guidance are still pending disclosure on October 15. Given high valuation expectations, the strong revenues were not enough to fully offset short-term profit-taking pressure.

Hurricane Isaias approaches, causing 72% of crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico to halt
As Category 3 Hurricane Isaias approaches the U.S. Gulf Coast, local oil producers have suspended around 1.46 million barrels per day of crude oil production, accounting for 72% of the region's total output. According to the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, as of 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday (midnight Beijing time on October 10), workers have been evacuated from 129 offshore platforms, and two mobile drilling rigs have been relocated out of the storm's path. BP has shut down production at the Thunder Horse and Na Kika platforms and evacuated non-essential personnel from three other platforms. The supply interruption has pushed Gulf of Mexico crude oil prices higher, with Mars crude currently carrying a premium of about $3 per barrel over WTI crude, and Thunder Horse crude maintaining a premium of more than $4 per barrel for two consecutive trading days.
