China tightens indium export checks as AI demand increasesSINGAPORE, June 19 (Reuters) - China is stepping up scrutiny over exports of indium, leading some buyers to fear the niche metal, sought after for next-generation data centers, may be added to the export control regime that has become one of Beijing's most potent trade weapons. China produces nearly 70% of the world's indium, a byproduct of zinc refining mostly used in displays and solder but also the raw material for making indium phosphide, used to make high-speed optical chips for AI data

Coherent's Good News Gets A Cold ShoulderThe company announced a government-backed expansion for its AI business, and investors promptly headed for the exits.
Why it could benefit going forward
- Coherent gives the dashboard a second serious optics name, which matters because AI networking is increasingly an optical problem.
- It provides exposure to lasers, transceivers, and photonic components that support large AI fabrics.
- If optical capacity becomes a key AI constraint, Coherent is closer to the bottleneck than many mainstream semiconductor names.
Moat / edge
- Deep photonics and materials expertise.
- A broad product set across critical optical components.
- Positioning in a specialized manufacturing stack that is hard to replicate.
What to watch
- AI-related datacenter optics demand and customer wins.
- Margin improvement as mix shifts.
- How much NVIDIA-linked optical demand translates into sustained revenue.
Key risks
- Execution and integration complexity can weigh on results.
- Optics demand can be cyclical and less linear than the AI narrative suggests.
