Connection thesis
Micron surged 30%+ this week amid a 'parabolic' memory chip rally (CNBC). Simultaneously, China's exports and imports hit record levels in April despite high energy costs (NYT, BBC). This creates a contradictory signal: if China is exporting at record volumes despite energy headwinds, chip demand from Asia is real and structural. Micron's rally reflects genuine supply-side tightness in memory (DRAM/NAND), not just sentiment. However, Porsche shuttering e-bike/battery/software subsidiaries (278465) signals that legacy automakers are exiting energy-intensive verticals. This suggests: memory chip demand (data centers, AI infra) is decoupling from automotive/battery demand. The chip rally is real, but narrowly scoped to AI/cloud.
