The earthquake in Japan has caused some factories to suspend production. Toshiba's chips have been cooled due to suspension of production or shortage of global chips. The shutdown of several large steel mills will impact the global iron ore market.
The Iwate and Miyagi prefectures most affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake are the headquarters of Toshiba, which is located in Toshiba's NAND Flash flash chip factory and CMOS sensor factory in Iwate Prefecture.
Mo panic! The main force is still in the fall? The locked stock is likely to be saved! March stock market is likely to change dramatically? The hidden money behind the tussle! Toshiba issued a statement on known losses. Deborah Chalmers, a female spokesperson for Toshiba’s US subsidiary, said that the company’s chip factory in Iwate Prefecture was affected by a power failure and is assessing the loss. Toshiba has issued a warning that due to transport problems caused by the earthquake, it will postpone the delivery of chips to users.
A SanDisk spokesperson for Toshiba’s partner also stated that some products on the chip production line have been scrapped. But at the same time, it emphasizes that the output loss is quite small. However, the market expects that the output of Toshiba chips will not be light because of the earthquake, and due to the poor transport caused by the earthquake will cause a temporary shortage of global chips, which may push up the price of chips on the market.
Len Jelinek, chief analyst of chip manufacturing at market research firm iSuppli, said that the substantial impact of the earthquake on the global chip supply chain will be reflected in the next quarter.
Jim Handy, an analyst at chip market research firm Objective Analysis, believes that the earthquake will cause dramatic fluctuations in global chip prices, causing a large shortage of chip supplies in the near future.
In 2010, the sales revenue of Japanese chip companies was about 63.8 billion U.S. dollars, accounting for about one-fifth of the global chip market sales revenue. Currently Toshiba is the world's second largest manufacturer of NAND flash flash memory chips, second only to South Korea's Samsung. The NAND flash memory chip is a hot product in the global chip market and is the core component of the global best-selling electronic products such as the Apple iPhone and iPad, and the product is the most affected by the earthquake.
The shortage of chip raw materials caused by the upstream will eventually lead to downstream products. As a supplier to the Apple iPad, Toshiba provided key components such as memory chips and screens, earthquake-induced production shutdowns and transportation problems, or limited production capacity of the iPad 2 just released.
It is said that the earthquake has caused structural damage to five steelmaking plants under the control of Nippon Steel and other three Japanese steel makers, and that it cannot be resumed in the short term. In addition, the terminal facilities of these steelmaking plants cannot operate. The five steel mills are located in the Tokyo Bay area.
For iron ore, the market sentiment has been greatly reduced due to the earthquake in Japan, and the enthusiasm for sharp price increases this year has cooled. According to the analysis of the steel index, the earthquake in Japan caused the suspension of production of some large steel mills. The sharp reduction in demand for iron ore will seriously affect the iron ore market sentiment.
Previously, as the demand for emerging economies continued to increase, coupled with the impact of flooding on the Australian mining area of ​​iron ore resource country, the price of iron ore rose sharply. Japan’s major iron and steel companies and the international iron ore giants reached an initial agreement on price hikes. The price of iron ore exported to Japan from April was US$170 per ton, up 25% from the first quarter, and the price was at a historical high. .
