Chips and Science Act — but their persistent failure to unite behind common-sense, bipartisan reforms to bring more skilled immigrants to the US puts this notable achievement in jeopardy. Congress passed the law in 2022 to revive domestic semiconductor manufacturing and reduce dependence on fabrication plants in East Asia. On paper, the initiative is already a success: Nearly $30 billion in subsidies and $25 billion in loans have been awarded, supporting investments of roughly $350 billion. One industry-sponsored study expects US chipmaking capacity to triple by 2032, with output of advanced logic chips rising from zero in 2022 to 28% of global production. To build and run those fabs, however, companies need workers the US doesn’t have. Shortages of skilled installers of hyper-precise chipmaking equipment have already delayed projects. The number of Americans studying in relevant graduate programs has been flat for 30 years. A third of current fab workers are 55 and older, and more than half say they’re eager to quit. The Semiconductor Industry Association says chipmakers will face a shortfall of 67,000 skilled workers by 2030.

Rajesh Palviya, Head-Technical Research, Axis Securities, says put writers are aggressive at 24,000 strike as well as 23,800 strike, and so these are the important levels on the downside to hold the market. If it holds the 24,000 level in the coming week, then this rally can extend higher, and the possible target for Nifty can be 24,400 also very soon. For Bank Nifty, 52,000 is the immediate support area based on the put concentration. The two levels – 52,000 as well as 51,800 – attracted more put writing in Friday's session also.

Are you penciling in some kind of slowdown next week? What are the levels you are watching out for when it comes to the benchmarks?

NEW DELHI : The government introduced a tax provision last year to prod large corporations into paying their micro and small enterprise vendors in time, only to hear concerns that it could backfire on the intended beneficiaries.

₹1.75 lakh (the total savings at the time of its six founders)—was not even a speck on the global IT firmament back then.
