📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
Wall Street closed mixed as the Dow notched a fresh record at 54,349.12 (+0.49%) while the S&P 500 slipped modestly to 7,723.55 (-0.17%) and the Nasdaq lagged, down 0.83% to 26,363.44. Chip stocks weighed heavily: the PHLX Semiconductor Index tumbled 1.40% to 12,008.88, dragged by AMD’s brutal -7.0% slide and Applied Materials’ -2.3% drop — a signal that could pressure Asian chip names overnight, even as NVIDIA bucked the trend with a strong +3.4% gain. Eli Lilly (+4.9%) and Amgen (+4.6%) led healthcare higher, while Alphabet (-4.0%) and Qualcomm (-3.2%) added to tech’s drag.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth stayed constructive with 23 advancers versus 17 decliners among large caps, and the VIX eased 4.18% to 15.81, reflecting calmer nerves. Notably, breadth’s positive tilt diverges from the Nasdaq’s outright decline, underscoring how narrow semiconductor weakness masked broader market resilience. The won firmed slightly as USD/KRW dipped 0.46% to 1,421.87.
■ Takeaway
Records for the Dow and S&P mask a split market — steady breadth and falling volatility versus a chip-led Nasdaq stumble. Watch semis closely heading into Asia’s open. 📈
