📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
US equities sold off sharply as rising oil prices, surging Treasury yields, and AI capex anxiety spooked investors. The Nasdaq led losses at -2.15% to 25,137.69, the S&P 500 fell 1.21% to 7,408.30, and the Dow slipped 0.97% to 51,711.65. The VIX spiked 12.38% to 18.70, signaling a swift risk-off shift. Notably, the PHLX Semiconductor index held up comparatively well, down just 0.54% to 12,343.84, a relatively resilient signal for Asian chip markets overnight. Tesla was the session’s worst performer, plunging 14.5%, followed by Alphabet (-7.1%), Oracle (-4.6%), and Amazon (-4.6%). Defensive and industrial names bucked the trend, with Merck (+2.4%), GE Aerospace (+2.3%), and Eli Lilly (+2.0%) among the gainers.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was decisively negative, with 27 of 40 large-cap names declining versus just 13 advancing. The mismatch between the Nasdaq’s outsized 2.15% drop and the semiconductor sector’s relative stability suggests mega-cap tech and AI-capex names, rather than broad chip weakness, drove index-level pain. The won weakened modestly, with USD/KRW at 1,474.12 (-0.38%).
■ Takeaway
Today’s selloff was concentrated in AI-linked megacaps and growth names, while chips and defensives showed relative resilience—a divergence worth watching as yields and oil stay in focus. 📉
