Micron Technology Inc ( MU ) shares are trading higher by 2% to $117 Thursday morning. Semiconductor stocks are rebounding amid Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. reporting a second-quarter earnings beat. Semiconductor stocks fell Wednesday as reports suggested President Biden might implement additional restrictions on China.

This comes alongside Republican nominee Donald Trump's remarks about the China-Taiwan conflict during a Bloomberg interview. The sector's performance is also impacted by weak guidance from ASML.

TSMC plays a vital role as a foundry for numerous semiconductor companies, including several based in the United States. Although Micron produces many of its own products, it remains susceptible to the broader market trends influenced by TSMC's operations.

Trump's remarks about Taiwan taking "100% of our chip business" underscore the U.S. semiconductor industry's significant dependence on Taiwanese manufacturing. This reliance raises alarms about possible supply chain interruptions, particularly in the context of geopolitical frictions between China and Taiwan.

Concerns about geopolitical risks associated with TSMC can affect other semiconductor companies like Micron. Investors may worry about the supply chain's stability and the possibility of future disruptions.
