ANALYSIS-Funds sell options to help cushion U.S. stock volatility

Some options mavens argue that these funds and other options-selling strategies have moderated the volatility of stocks, which is another reason for the stock market's prolonged calm.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan chipmaker TSMC on Wednesday reported first-quarter revenue growth of 16.5%, beating market expectations and hitting the upper end of the company's own guidance, as demand for artificial intelligence applications led to a surge in sales. The world's largest maker of carrier chips, whose customers include Apple and Nvidia, benefited from the AI wave that helped it stave off a pandemic-induced contraction in demand, driving TSMC's shares to a record high. That's not far off Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC)'s previous forecast of first-quarter revenue between $18 billion and $18.8 billion.

Exclusive - The EU's new tech law is working - Smaller browsers are winning market share

European Union standalone browser companies saw a surge in users in the first month after European Union legislation forced Alphabet's Google, Microsoft and Apple to make it easier for users to switch to competitors' browsers, according to data provided by six companies to Reuters.
