0:00.000–0:03.469
I guess the very popular song of Tracy Chapman,
0:03.469–0:06.760
similar name, this market is moving quicker
0:06.760–0:09.640
than a fast car, getting these triggered.
0:09.780–0:10.984
So another day, so
0:10.984–0:15.480
I'm losing count now of the number of days this month that we've seen
0:15.480–0:18.951
either the COSDAQ or the COSPI just get halted because
0:18.951–0:21.420
of just how volatile things have been.
0:21.500–0:23.767
But yes, that's where we are currently, so we'll revisit,
0:23.767–0:24.900
of course, what goes on there
0:24.900–0:26.980
in about 20 minutes when things, of course, resume trade.
0:26.980–0:32.720
Joining us here on set to help us make sense of where exactly we are on the COSPI story
0:32.720–0:35.794
in the broader Asian markets, joining us here is Frank Benzimra,
0:35.794–0:37.160
head of Asia Equity Strategy
0:37.160–0:38.080
at Sokjun.
0:38.160–0:39.600
Frank, very nice to see you and good morning.
0:39.980–0:40.760
Has Korea come up?
0:42.760–0:47.180
Well, Korea is by far the most volatile market.
0:48.120–0:50.932
That's very interesting to see that the company now,
0:50.932–0:53.360
the semiconductor companies are publishing
0:53.360–0:56.861
record earnings, but we are at top margin and
0:56.861–1:01.120
the market is reminding that this market is cyclical.
1:02.100–1:04.110
And we have on top of that, and
1:04.110–1:08.800
maybe a little bit unlike what we see in the US, we have the leverage,
1:09.020–1:11.700
which is super concentrated on few names.
1:12.100–1:16.820
So when we put all this, we have this volatility on the market.
1:16.820–1:22.020
What to do now about, what's the advice to clients about Korea?
1:22.840–1:26.508
Well, that to Korea, you have the semiconductor Korea,
1:26.508–1:28.820
where you have some deleveraging,
1:29.600–1:32.752
which is happening, which is not being done, and
1:32.752–1:34.800
on which we need to be cautious.
1:35.280–1:37.380
And then you have the other Korea.
1:37.840–1:40.920
You remove the top two semiconductor name.
1:40.920–1:44.636
Then you have a price to book of 1.5 times at a time when
1:44.636–1:47.000
you have some governance reform,
1:47.280–1:51.680
which are happening, and a pretty good level of earnings.
1:52.160–1:56.720
And I think this is this kind of Korea that we need to focus on now.
1:57.040–2:00.480
Yeah, there's certainly a lot of cross currents that you're talking about here.
2:00.540–2:03.544
Obviously, this whole China DUV sort of lithography,
2:03.544–2:06.080
whatever innovation that we've been seeing,
2:06.200–2:08.107
according to some reports from the information,
2:08.107–2:10.200
that certainly is roiling the chips trade here today.
2:10.200–2:12.556
You add that to the NVIDIA story and these big,
2:12.556–2:15.160
massive frenzy of deals that they keep making here
2:15.160–2:17.482
with the likes of Esky Hynix and the like is,
2:17.482–2:20.900
once again, sparking those concerns of circular deals, right?
2:20.960–2:23.656
So you're seeing that being reflected across the bond market,
2:23.656–2:26.040
credit markets, spreads are winding out, and the like.
2:26.140–2:29.098
So there's quite a bit of angst, not just in this equity market,
2:29.098–2:31.260
but also when it comes to bond markets as well.
2:31.360–2:33.780
Take a look when it comes to the open in China, and
2:33.780–2:36.200
they are not immune to this sell-off here today.
2:36.200–2:39.411
You see the ChinaX, specifically the tech-heavy benchmark,
2:39.411–2:41.740
that's already lowered by 3% here right now.
2:42.060–2:45.200
You are seeing some big names like Capricorn Tech.
2:45.340–2:46.500
That's down by 2.
2:46.820–2:49.440
CATL also seeing a bit of pressure in the A-share market.
2:49.880–2:51.986
But interesting enough, in terms of bright spots,
2:51.986–2:53.340
it's the consumer space, right?
2:53.340–2:58.720
So maybe there is a bit of that rotation out of those AI plays here this morning to the likes of Medea Group,
2:58.840–3:00.020
Kuei Chao, Mao Tai, and the like.
3:00.580–3:01.323
We take a look when
3:01.323–3:03.700
it comes to what we're seeing across the tech gauges here.
3:03.780–3:06.360
Obviously, yesterday, it was about CXMT.
3:06.540–3:09.740
We are seeing even that stock come off just a bit here today.
3:09.840–3:12.560
But this is what the chips sector is seeing here.
3:12.680–3:14.220
So you are seeing the likes of Hua Hong Semi.
3:15.000–3:17.766
SMIC is actually going the opposite direction, but
3:17.766–3:19.760
most of them are slightly lower here.
3:19.760–3:21.938
On the back of this report, right, you know,
3:21.938–3:24.600
this whole, you know, it all happened to ASML shares.
3:25.080–3:29.420
Just one report itself of what China may be doing.
3:29.540–3:36.980
A state-backed company in China is mass-producing these deep ultraviolet lithography tools.
3:37.300–3:43.360
So, you know, this adds to the whole kind of tech self-sufficiency sort of theme that we've been seeing alongside CXMT yesterday.
3:44.100–3:49.640
How true and how much it delivers is certainly one thing that the sell side is really mapping out here today.
3:49.640–3:52.386
I think most of the sell side have chimed in and
3:52.386–3:55.276
said, look, when it comes to that technological
3:55.276–3:58.166
gap between China and Western names right now, i
3:58.166–3:59.900
t's still quite wide, right?
4:00.040–4:02.176
You know, Masahiro, our BI analyst,
4:02.176–4:04.170
is it's seven to ten years it would
4:04.170–4:06.520
take to actually close it at this point.
4:06.560–4:08.720
So maybe right now markets are going ahead of it.
4:08.720–4:15.680
COSDAC has now triggered the circuit breaker trading halted after that index fell by 8% as well.
4:15.820–4:20.120
So trading in South Korea's COSDAC now also in a trading halt.
4:20.640–4:25.900
Well, let's get more details now on those stories fueling this AI angst across Asia.
4:26.160–4:31.240
Our China correspondent Min Min Lo joins us from Hong Kong along with Asia Equities reporter Winnie Su.
4:31.240–4:33.320
So Min Min, let's start with you.
4:33.620–4:38.100
What do we know about the scale at which China can produce DUV machines?
4:38.160–4:41.040
Because this has been one of the catalysts that's seen the sell-off today.
4:42.740–4:43.420
That's right.
4:43.500–4:45.920
And this is according to the information's reporting.
4:45.920–4:47.957
And according to their sources,
4:47.957–4:49.918
China is planning to produce fi
4:49.918–4:52.860
ve of these machines this year and 20 next year.
4:52.940–4:55.900
This is a particular company that is based in Shanghai.
4:55.900–4:58.131
It has not been named by the information, but
4:58.131–5:00.421
it's a homegrown company that is gathering ex
5:00.421–5:02.773
pertise from other Chinese firms, including a
5:02.773–5:04.340
state-backed startup as well.
5:05.080–5:06.955
And according to the information,
5:06.955–5:08.701
most of the components of these D
5:08.701–5:10.512
UV machines are locally sourced,
5:10.512–5:13.680
except for some key components that are coming from Japan.
5:13.960–5:16.445
So this is sparking the sell-off because
5:16.445–5:18.783
we know that ASML has been a major playe
5:18.783–5:21.122
r, in fact, very dominant, one of the fe
5:21.122–5:23.460
w monopolies out there in this sector.
5:23.460–5:29.760
And ASML has been prevented from selling its most advanced machines to China.
5:30.140–5:33.060
Now, mind you, these DUV machines are not top of the range.
5:33.200–5:36.527
The most advanced machines that ASML can sell are the EUV,
5:36.527–5:39.160
extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.
5:39.320–5:42.080
DUV is deep ultraviolet lithography machines.
5:42.200–5:44.320
So it's slightly less advanced.
5:44.460–5:48.180
But still, the vast majority of chips require only a DUV machine.
5:48.180–5:53.320
Only a small sliver of the most advanced chips require EUV machines to make.
5:53.440–5:56.848
So this is why we are seeing the market sell-off here in Asia as well when
5:56.848–6:00.140
it comes to the Cosby, the Tyaxe, and many of these tech names in Asia.
6:00.300–6:03.300
I want to get to Winnie Su for the second one of those one-two punches.
6:03.480–6:05.840
And Winnie, it's all about circular financing.
6:06.020–6:08.407
I mean, NVIDIA's announced a bunch more deals,
6:08.407–6:10.795
financing and taking stakes in projects that a
6:10.795–6:12.080
re going to use its chips.
6:12.080–6:16.020
So there's been worries about circular financing for some time.
6:16.440–6:17.840
Why has it all come to a head today?
6:19.340–6:20.420
Yeah, exactly, Paul.
6:20.460–6:23.980
You just mentioned how actually we've been hearing about this since last year.
6:24.100–6:28.980
But because of these concerns around the hyperscalers spending recently,
6:28.980–6:33.760
that is really raising further concerns around this circulation that we're looking at.
6:33.760–6:41.640
Now, it is all about how companies like NVIDIA are financing the support for its key customers.
6:41.980–6:46.656
And these customers then have further money or funds to then
6:46.656–6:48.340
buy more from NVIDIA.
6:48.760–6:51.720
And some of the examples we're hearing recently is, for example,
6:51.860–6:58.140
the one with SK Group committing about $500 billion between each other.
6:58.140–7:00.291
So it is circulation because
7:00.291–7:05.040
it includes SK Group buying these supercomputers from NVIDIA.
7:05.180–7:08.420
And then NVIDIA also buying memory chips from SK Hynix.
7:08.740–7:13.820
Now, this is a little bit unclear in terms of how this money is actually going to be divided.
7:14.300–7:19.260
So that is why investors are a bit concerned in terms of how it's a bit less transparent.
7:19.720–7:23.640
Now, when it comes to the deal or that talk that we heard from yesterday
7:23.640–7:36.880
about them potentially backstopping about $250 billion for OpenAI to lease that $500 billion worth of data center
7:36.880–7:39.763
being built out by SoftBank in Ohio,
7:39.763–7:45.240
that is a bit more complicated with them providing that $200 billion
7:45.240–7:48.380
to support the build out of SoftBank.
7:48.380–7:51.324
And SoftBank has a big stake in OpenAI, and
7:51.324–7:54.520
they really lease that data center to OpenAI.
7:54.940–7:57.788
Then OpenAI, which is a key customer of NVIDIA,
7:57.788–7:59.760
buys further chips from NVIDIA.
8:00.060–8:03.629
So that kind of circulation is raising concerns because
8:03.629–8:05.680
it potentially skews the demand
8:05.680–8:07.779
and also raises the risk when
8:07.779–8:12.240
it comes to a potential fallout of this whole AI demand story.
0:00.000–0:03.469
I guess the very popular song of Tracy Chapman,
我想 Tracy Chapman 那首非常流行的歌曲,
0:03.469–0:06.760
similar name, this market is moving quicker
名字相似,這個市場移動得比快車還快,
0:06.760–0:09.640
than a fast car, getting these triggered.
導致這些觸發器被啟動。
0:09.780–0:10.984
So another day, so
所以又是新的一天,所以
0:10.984–0:15.480
I'm losing count now of the number of days this month that we've seen
我現在已經數不清這個月裡我們看到
0:15.480–0:18.951
either the COSDAQ or the COSPI just get halted because
either COSDAQ 或 COSPI 因為
0:18.951–0:21.420
of just how volatile things have been.
市場波動性太大而暫停交易的天數了。
0:21.500–0:23.767
But yes, that's where we are currently, so we'll revisit,
但沒錯,這就是我們目前的情況,所以我們會再回來討論,
0:23.767–0:24.900
of course, what goes on there
當然,那裡發生了什麼
0:24.900–0:26.980
in about 20 minutes when things, of course, resume trade.
大約 20 分鐘後,當市場恢復交易時。
0:26.980–0:32.720
Joining us here on set to help us make sense of where exactly we are on the COSPI story
歡迎來到我們的錄影棚,幫助我們理解 COSPI 故事的確切情況
0:32.720–0:35.794
in the broader Asian markets, joining us here is Frank Benzimra,
在更廣泛的亞洲市場中,歡迎 Frank Benzimra,
0:35.794–0:37.160
head of Asia Equity Strategy
亞洲股票策略主管
0:37.160–0:38.080
at Sokjun.
來自 Sokjun。
0:38.160–0:39.600
Frank, very nice to see you and good morning.
Frank,很高興見到你,早安。
0:39.980–0:40.760
Has Korea come up?
韓國的情況有出現嗎?
0:42.760–0:47.180
Well, Korea is by far the most volatile market.
嗯,韓國無疑是最具波動性的市場。
0:48.120–0:50.932
That's very interesting to see that the company now,
現在看到公司
0:50.932–0:53.360
the semiconductor companies are publishing
半導體公司發布
0:53.360–0:56.861
record earnings, but we are at top margin and
創紀錄的獲利,這非常有趣,但我們處於利潤率頂峰,
0:56.861–1:01.120
the market is reminding that this market is cyclical.
市場提醒我們這個市場是週期性的。
1:02.100–1:04.110
And we have on top of that, and
而且我們還有,
1:04.110–1:08.800
maybe a little bit unlike what we see in the US, we have the leverage,
也許與我們在美國看到的情況略有不同,我們有槓桿,
1:09.020–1:11.700
which is super concentrated on few names.
這超級集中在少數幾個名稱上。
1:12.100–1:16.820
So when we put all this, we have this volatility on the market.
所以當我們將這些因素加在一起時,我們就面臨著市場的波動性。
1:16.820–1:22.020
What to do now about, what's the advice to clients about Korea?
現在該怎麼辦?對韓國客戶的建議是什麼?
1:22.840–1:26.508
Well, that to Korea, you have the semiconductor Korea,
嗯,對於韓國,你有半導體韓國,
1:26.508–1:28.820
where you have some deleveraging,
在那裡,你面臨一些去槓桿化的情況,
1:29.600–1:32.752
which is happening, which is not being done, and
這正在發生,但尚未完成,
1:32.752–1:34.800
on which we need to be cautious.
我們需要對此保持謹慎。
1:35.280–1:37.380
And then you have the other Korea.
然後還有另一個韓國。
1:37.840–1:40.920
You remove the top two semiconductor name.
你去掉前兩大半導體名稱。
1:40.920–1:44.636
Then you have a price to book of 1.5 times at a time when
那麼你會在某個時候看到市淨率為 1.5 倍,
1:44.636–1:47.000
you have some governance reform,
此時正在進行一些治理改革,
1:47.280–1:51.680
which are happening, and a pretty good level of earnings.
並且獲利水平相當不錯。
1:52.160–1:56.720
And I think this is this kind of Korea that we need to focus on now.
我認為這就是我們現在需要關注的那種韓國。
1:57.040–2:00.480
Yeah, there's certainly a lot of cross currents that you're talking about here.
是的,這裡確實有很多交叉的力量,正如你所談論的。
2:00.540–2:03.544
Obviously, this whole China DUV sort of lithography,
顯然,這整個中國 DUV 光刻技術,
2:03.544–2:06.080
whatever innovation that we've been seeing,
無論我們一直看到的
2:06.200–2:08.107
according to some reports from the information,
根據資訊時報的一些報導,
2:08.107–2:10.200
that certainly is roiling the chips trade here today.
這無疑在今天擾動了晶片貿易。
2:10.200–2:12.556
You add that to the NVIDIA story and these big,
再加上輝達的故事,以及他們在此持續進行的龐大、
2:12.556–2:15.160
massive frenzy of deals that they keep making here
海量交易狂潮,
2:15.160–2:17.482
with the likes of Esky Hynix and the like is,
像是與海力士等公司的交易,
2:17.482–2:20.900
once again, sparking those concerns of circular deals, right?
再次引發了對循環交易的擔憂,對吧?
2:20.960–2:23.656
So you're seeing that being reflected across the bond market,
因此,你在債券市場看到了這種反映,
2:23.656–2:26.040
credit markets, spreads are winding out, and the like.
信用市場、利差擴大等情況。
2:26.140–2:29.098
So there's quite a bit of angst, not just in this equity market,
因此,不僅是在股市,
2:29.098–2:31.260
but also when it comes to bond markets as well.
在債券市場也存在著相當多的焦慮。
2:31.360–2:33.780
Take a look when it comes to the open in China, and
來看看中國市場的開盤情況,
2:33.780–2:36.200
they are not immune to this sell-off here today.
他們也無法避免今天的拋售。
2:36.200–2:39.411
You see the ChinaX, specifically the tech-heavy benchmark,
你看見中國X,特別是科技權重的基準指數,
2:39.411–2:41.740
that's already lowered by 3% here right now.
目前已經下跌了3%。
2:42.060–2:45.200
You are seeing some big names like Capricorn Tech.
你看到一些大名字,比如嘉實科技。
2:45.340–2:46.500
That's down by 2.
下跌了2%。
2:46.820–2:49.440
CATL also seeing a bit of pressure in the A-share market.
寧德時代在A股市場也面臨一些壓力。
2:49.880–2:51.986
But interesting enough, in terms of bright spots,
但有趣的是,在亮點方面,
2:51.986–2:53.340
it's the consumer space, right?
是消費領域,對吧?
2:53.340–2:58.720
So maybe there is a bit of that rotation out of those AI plays here this morning to the likes of Medea Group,
所以也許今天早上有一些從AI主題轉向麥德龍集團、
2:58.840–3:00.020
Kuei Chao, Mao Tai, and the like.
貴州茅台等公司的輪動。
3:00.580–3:01.323
We take a look when
我們來看看
3:01.323–3:03.700
it comes to what we're seeing across the tech gauges here.
在科技指數方面的情況。
3:03.780–3:06.360
Obviously, yesterday, it was about CXMT.
顯然,昨天是關於長鑫存儲。
3:06.540–3:09.740
We are seeing even that stock come off just a bit here today.
我們看到這隻股票今天也略微下跌。
3:09.840–3:12.560
But this is what the chips sector is seeing here.
但這就是晶片行業在此的情況。
3:12.680–3:14.220
So you are seeing the likes of Hua Hong Semi.
因此,你看見華虹半導體等公司。
3:15.000–3:17.766
SMIC is actually going the opposite direction, but
中芯國際實際上朝相反方向走,但
3:17.766–3:19.760
most of them are slightly lower here.
大多數公司在此略微下跌。
3:19.760–3:21.938
On the back of this report, right, you know,
基於這份報告,對吧,你知道,
3:21.938–3:24.600
this whole, you know, it all happened to ASML shares.
這一切,你知道,都發生在阿斯麥的股價上。
3:25.080–3:29.420
Just one report itself of what China may be doing.
僅一份關於中國可能在做什麼的報告。
3:29.540–3:36.980
A state-backed company in China is mass-producing these deep ultraviolet lithography tools.
一家中國國有企業正在量產這些深紫外光刻設備。
3:37.300–3:43.360
So, you know, this adds to the whole kind of tech self-sufficiency sort of theme that we've been seeing alongside CXMT yesterday.
所以,你知道,這增加了我們昨天與長鑫存儲一起看到的科技自給自足主題。
3:44.100–3:49.640
How true and how much it delivers is certainly one thing that the sell side is really mapping out here today.
它有多真實以及能帶來多少成果,確實是賣方今天正在仔細規劃的一件事。
3:49.640–3:52.386
I think most of the sell side have chimed in and
我認為大多數賣方都參與其中並
3:52.386–3:55.276
said, look, when it comes to that technological
表示,看,在技術
3:55.276–3:58.166
gap between China and Western names right now, i
中國與西方公司之間的差距方面,
3:58.166–3:59.900
t's still quite wide, right?
仍然相當大,對吧?
4:00.040–4:02.176
You know, Masahiro, our BI analyst,
你知道,我們的BI分析師正田雅弘,
4:02.176–4:04.170
is it's seven to ten years it would
需要七到十年才能
4:04.170–4:06.520
take to actually close it at this point.
到那時才能真正關閉它。
4:06.560–4:08.720
So maybe right now markets are going ahead of it.
所以也許現在市場正在超前發展。
4:08.720–4:15.680
COSDAC has now triggered the circuit breaker trading halted after that index fell by 8% as well.
韓國COSDAC也觸發了斷路器機制,在指數下跌8%後暫停交易。
4:15.820–4:20.120
So trading in South Korea's COSDAC now also in a trading halt.
因此,韓國COSDAC的交易也處於暫停狀態。
4:20.640–4:25.900
Well, let's get more details now on those stories fueling this AI angst across Asia.
現在讓我們深入了解這些在亞洲引發AI焦慮的故事。
4:26.160–4:31.240
Our China correspondent Min Min Lo joins us from Hong Kong along with Asia Equities reporter Winnie Su.
我們的中國特派員羅敏敏與亞洲股票記者蘇婉儀從香港聯線。
4:31.240–4:33.320
So Min Min, let's start with you.
敏敏,我們先從你開始。
4:33.620–4:38.100
What do we know about the scale at which China can produce DUV machines?
關於中國生產DUV機器的規模,我們知道些什麼?
4:38.160–4:41.040
Because this has been one of the catalysts that's seen the sell-off today.
因為這一直是導致今天拋售的催化因素之一。
4:42.740–4:43.420
That's right.
沒錯。
4:43.500–4:45.920
And this is according to the information's reporting.
這是根據資訊報導的內容。
4:45.920–4:47.957
And according to their sources,
根據他們的消息來源,
4:47.957–4:49.918
China is planning to produce fi
中國計劃今年生產五
4:49.918–4:52.860
ve of these machines this year and 20 next year.
台這些機器,明年生產20台。
4:52.940–4:55.900
This is a particular company that is based in Shanghai.
這是一家位於上海的公司。
4:55.900–4:58.131
It has not been named by the information, but
資訊未提及該公司名稱,但
4:58.131–5:00.421
it's a homegrown company that is gathering ex
這是一家本土公司,正在匯聚來自其他中國企業,包括一家國有支持的初創企業
5:00.421–5:02.773
pertise from other Chinese firms, including a
的專業知識。
5:02.773–5:04.340
state-backed startup as well.
根據資訊報導,
5:05.080–5:06.955
And according to the information,
這些DUV機器的大部分組件
5:06.955–5:08.701
most of the components of these D
都是本地採購,
5:08.701–5:10.512
UV machines are locally sourced,
除了部分來自日本的关键組件。
5:10.512–5:13.680
except for some key components that are coming from Japan.
因此這引發了拋售,因為
5:13.960–5:16.445
So this is sparking the sell-off because
我們知道ASML一直是主要的參與者,
5:16.445–5:18.783
we know that ASML has been a major playe
事實上,非常主導,是該領域少數
5:18.783–5:21.122
r, in fact, very dominant, one of the fe
壟斷企業之一。
5:21.122–5:23.460
w monopolies out there in this sector.
ASML被禁止向中國出售其最先進的機器。
5:23.460–5:29.760
And ASML has been prevented from selling its most advanced machines to China.
現在,請注意,這些DUV機器並非頂級產品。
5:30.140–5:33.060
Now, mind you, these DUV machines are not top of the range.
ASML能出售的最先進機器是EUV,
5:33.200–5:36.527
The most advanced machines that ASML can sell are the EUV,
極紫外光刻機器。
5:36.527–5:39.160
extreme ultraviolet lithography machines.
DUV是深紫外光刻機器。
5:39.320–5:42.080
DUV is deep ultraviolet lithography machines.
所以它們稍微落後一些。
5:42.200–5:44.320
So it's slightly less advanced.
但即便如此,絕大多數晶片只需要DUV機器。
5:44.460–5:48.180
But still, the vast majority of chips require only a DUV machine.
只有極少數最先進的晶片需要EUV機器來製造。
5:48.180–5:53.320
Only a small sliver of the most advanced chips require EUV machines to make.
這就是為什麼當談到亞洲的COSDAC、Tyaxe以及許多這些科技名稱時,我們看到市場拋售的原因。
5:53.440–5:56.848
So this is why we are seeing the market sell-off here in Asia as well when
我想請蘇婉儀談談第二個一記重拳。
5:56.848–6:00.140
it comes to the Cosby, the Tyaxe, and many of these tech names in Asia.
蘇婉儀,這一切都關於循環融資。
6:00.300–6:03.300
I want to get to Winnie Su for the second one of those one-two punches.
我的意思是,NVIDIA宣布了一系列更多交易,
6:03.480–6:05.840
And Winnie, it's all about circular financing.
溫妮,這一切都關於循環融資。
6:06.020–6:08.407
I mean, NVIDIA's announced a bunch more deals,
我的意思是,NVIDIA 宣布了一堆更多的交易,
6:08.407–6:10.795
financing and taking stakes in projects that a
融資並對將使用其晶片的项目進行股權投資
6:10.795–6:12.080
re going to use its chips.
這些項目將使用其晶片。
6:12.080–6:16.020
So there's been worries about circular financing for some time.
因此,關於循環融資的擔憂已存在一段時間。
6:16.440–6:17.840
Why has it all come to a head today?
為什麼這些擔憂在今天集中爆發?
6:19.340–6:20.420
Yeah, exactly, Paul.
沒錯,保羅。
6:20.460–6:23.980
You just mentioned how actually we've been hearing about this since last year.
你剛才提到,我們其實從去年就開始聽到相關消息。
6:24.100–6:28.980
But because of these concerns around the hyperscalers spending recently,
但由於近期超大型雲端服務商(hyperscalers)支出的這些擔憂,
6:28.980–6:33.760
that is really raising further concerns around this circulation that we're looking at.
這確實進一步引發了我們對當前循環現象的關注。
6:33.760–6:41.640
Now, it is all about how companies like NVIDIA are financing the support for its key customers.
現在,重點在於像 NVIDIA 這樣的企業如何為其關鍵客戶提供支持進行融資。
6:41.980–6:46.656
And these customers then have further money or funds to then
這些客戶隨後擁有更多資金,
6:46.656–6:48.340
buy more from NVIDIA.
用於向 NVIDIA 購買更多產品。
6:48.760–6:51.720
And some of the examples we're hearing recently is, for example,
我們最近聽到的一些例子包括,
6:51.860–6:58.140
the one with SK Group committing about $500 billion between each other.
例如 SK 集團之間承諾約 5000 億美元的相互投資。
6:58.140–7:00.291
So it is circulation because
因此,這屬於循環融資,因為
7:00.291–7:05.040
it includes SK Group buying these supercomputers from NVIDIA.
它包括 SK 集團向 NVIDIA 購買這些超級電腦。
7:05.180–7:08.420
And then NVIDIA also buying memory chips from SK Hynix.
然後 NVIDIA 也向 SK 海力士購買記憶體晶片。
7:08.740–7:13.820
Now, this is a little bit unclear in terms of how this money is actually going to be divided.
現在,關於這些資金實際上如何分配還有些不清楚。
7:14.300–7:19.260
So that is why investors are a bit concerned in terms of how it's a bit less transparent.
因此,投資者對其透明度較低感到有些擔憂。
7:19.720–7:23.640
Now, when it comes to the deal or that talk that we heard from yesterday
現在,談到昨天我們聽到的交易或討論,
7:23.640–7:36.880
about them potentially backstopping about $250 billion for OpenAI to lease that $500 billion worth of data center
關於他們可能為 OpenAI 租賃價值 5000 億美元的數據中心
7:36.880–7:39.763
being built out by SoftBank in Ohio,
由軟銀在俄亥俄州建設的項目提供約 2500 億美元的後援支持,
7:39.763–7:45.240
that is a bit more complicated with them providing that $200 billion
這涉及他們提供 2000 億美元
7:45.240–7:48.380
to support the build out of SoftBank.
以支持軟銀的建設項目,情況變得更加複雜。
7:48.380–7:51.324
And SoftBank has a big stake in OpenAI, and
軟銀在 OpenAI 中持有重大股權,並且
7:51.324–7:54.520
they really lease that data center to OpenAI.
他們確實將該數據中心租賃給 OpenAI。
7:54.940–7:57.788
Then OpenAI, which is a key customer of NVIDIA,
然後,作為 NVIDIA 的關鍵客戶,OpenAI
7:57.788–7:59.760
buys further chips from NVIDIA.
向 NVIDIA 購買更多晶片。
8:00.060–8:03.629
So that kind of circulation is raising concerns because
因此,這種循環引發了擔憂,因為
8:03.629–8:05.680
it potentially skews the demand
它可能扭曲需求,
8:05.680–8:07.779
and also raises the risk when
並且在
8:07.779–8:12.240
it comes to a potential fallout of this whole AI demand story.
整個 AI 需求故事可能出現負面影響時,也增加了風險。
