Original title: has the lack of core been alleviated? GM said all North American assembly plants returned to work this month
According to Reuters local report on the 10th, General Motors said that "semiconductor liquidity is enhanced" and most of its assembly plants in North America have resumed normal production.
A GM spokesman said: "in fact, last week was the first time in North America that assembly plants had not shut down due to chip shortage since February."
Earlier, due to the shortage of chips, GM, Ford and other auto companies announced that the North American assembly plant would stop production and reduce production, and Ford's sales were also hit in the third quarter.
According to the spokesman, the shortage of chips has been alleviated.
In addition, David Burritt, CEO of American steel, said on the company's conference call that the period when many of its auto customers predicted the shortage of chips may have passed.
"They began to increase the start-up time in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of next year, and indicated to us that they would start to improve the utilization rate as early as next week."
Adam crisafulli, former executive director of JPMorgan Chase, said that the comments of American steel companies were "the most important (macro) comments in all the earnings conference calls this morning".
According to previous articles on Wall Street, Ford and GM executives said that the impact of chip shortage is expected to continue until next year and possibly even 2023.
