📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
Chips led a broad retreat as AI jitters gripped Wall Street. The Nasdaq slid 1.47% to 25,881.95 and the S&P 500 dropped 0.51% to 7,533.77, while the Dow held up relatively better, off just 0.20% to 52,552.97. The real story was semiconductors: the PHLX Semiconductor Index cratered 4.29% to 11,867.50, dragging Oracle (-6.2%), Intel (-5.8%), AMD (-5.3%), Broadcom (-5.0%) and Alphabet (-4.4%) sharply lower. Defensive-leaning names bucked the trend, with Intuit (+5.4%), Adobe (+4.8%), AbbVie (+4.2%), Amgen (+3.7%) and Salesforce (+3.4%) posting solid gains.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was actually positive — 24 advancers versus 16 decliners among large caps — even as the headline indices fell, underscoring that this was a concentrated tech/chip selloff rather than a market-wide rout. Volatility spiked, with the VIX jumping 6.76% to 16.73, signaling rising hedging demand. The won weakened, with USD/KRW down 0.68% to 1,477.71.
■ Takeaway
Today’s divergence between resilient breadth and the Nasdaq/SOX plunge highlights AI-trade fatigue concentrated in mega-cap chipmakers, a dynamic likely to ripple into Asian semiconductor names overnight. 📉
