The decline in TSMC's stock price can be attributed to geopolitical tensions and trade policy uncertainties. Recent reports highlighted potential U.S. trade sanctions on legacy chips from China, which could impact TSMC's operations given its significant role in the global semiconductor supply chain. Additionally, the anticipation of TSMC's upcoming board meeting to approve Q4 2024 financials may have contributed to investor caution, as stakeholders await insights into the company's performance amid these challenges.
