European Semiconductor Stocks Rise After Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Is Open -- Market Talk

Dow Jones04-17

1332 GMT - Shares of European semiconductor companies are on the rise after Iran said the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open" to commercial vessels following a cease-fire in Lebanon. The strait, a key waterway used to transport helium needed to make artificial-intelligence chips, had remained largely closed in recent weeks. Shares of Dutch semiconductor-equipment maker ASML Holding and smaller rival ASM International are up 1.2% and 3.1%, respectively. Shares of BE Semiconductor Industries, the Dutch supplier of semiconductor assembly equipment, are up 2.8%. German chip maker Infineon Technologies is up 4.8%. STMicroelectronics shares are up 4.4%.
