The US mortgage rate is rising towards 7% again!

The high mortgage rate will douse buyers' interest and keep the housing rentals high because the investors will want to recoup their monthly instalments and not subsidize the tenants to stay in their properties.

The ISM PMI had been contracting for 4 consecutive months already.

Estimated new local order = New orders (+4.5) - New export orders (+0.5) = 4

Estimated local raw material = Inventories (-0.1) - Imports (+2.1) = -2.2

The increase in the PMI was caused by a significant increase in new orders which included new local orders.  However, the producers were not optimistic about their future orders and went ahead to cut back on their production, employment and inventories which resulted in an increase in the backlog of orders.

The ISM PMI had been in the contractionary phase (below 50) for 4 consecutive months and this phenomenon won't bode well for the future US economic growth.

Why did Warren Buffett sell TSMC shares?

Many analysts don't understand Warren's rationale for selling TSMC shares.  Thus, we'll reveal the truth here.

Warren Buffett sold TSMC shares after comparing the latest production costs and profit margins between Taiwan TSMC and US TSMC.

The latest production cost and margin for Taiwan TSMC:

5nm chip production cost: US$6,400 per wafer

3nm chip production cost: US$14,600 per wafer

Profit margin: 50-60%

Since US TSMC will begin its first 5nm chip production, we'll provide the related projected statistics.

Projected US 5nm chip: US$11,800

Projected US margin: 15%

It is a no brainer that Taiwan TSMC will be subsidizing US TSMC in the future when the US TSMC starts its operations.  No wonder Warren Buffett sold TSMC shares after making a comparative analysis.
