Taiwanese chip makers call on government to stockpile helium, liquid natural gas — TSIA pleads for strategic supplies as US and Iran sign ceasefire in Middle East
What happened
TSIA urges Taiwan government to build strategic stockpiles of helium and LNG, citing supply chain fragility exposed by the US-Iran conflict which caused shortages within three weeks. Taiwan currently has only 11 days of LNG reserves and no helium stockpiles. 利多: Potential for future price volatility and supply constraints for critical fab gases if strategic reserves are not established.
