📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
A split-decision session: the Dow climbed 0.46% to 51,947.25 and the S&P 500 eked out a marginal +0.05% to 7,411.98, but the Nasdaq slid 0.64% to 24,975.82 as chip stocks buckled. The real story was the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX), which cratered 4.25% to 11,818.89 — a heavy blow likely to weigh on Asian chip names into tomorrow’s open. Intel led decliners at -7.9%, alongside Applied Materials (-4.7%), Oracle (-4.2%), AMD (-3.3%) and Broadcom (-2.7%). Software and consumer names offset the damage, with Adobe (+6.1%), Intuit (+5.3%), Salesforce (+4.3%) and Apple (+3.5%) rallying hard.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was healthy — 27 advancers versus 13 decliners among large caps — even as the Nasdaq closed lower, a clear divergence driven by concentrated semiconductor weakness rather than broad selling. VIX eased slightly to 18.58 (-0.64%), signaling contained fear. The won firmed against the dollar, with USD/KRW down 1.10% to 1,459.42.
■ Takeaway
Chips are the wildcard: SOX’s sharp drop overshadowed otherwise solid breadth and Dow strength, hinting at rotation out of semis into software/mega-cap tech. Watch Asian chip markets for follow-through. 📉
