📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
US indexes closed mixed as chip weakness offset broader strength. The Dow rallied +0.51% to 52,210.08, the S&P 500 barely eked out a gain at 7,413.18 (+0.02%), while the Nasdaq slipped -0.18% to 24,932.08. The real story was semiconductors: the PHLX Semiconductor Index (SOX) tumbled -2.23% to 11,554.88, dragged down by AMD (-5.2%) and NVIDIA (-5.0%), alongside Applied Materials (-3.6%) — a heavy signal for Asian chip markets overnight. Software names shone instead, with Salesforce (+6.1%), Adobe (+5.6%), and Oracle (+4.3%) leading gains, alongside defensive PepsiCo (+2.3%).
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was healthier than the index tape suggested — 26 advancers vs. 14 decliners among large caps, showing the Nasdaq’s dip was concentrated in chip heavyweights rather than broad selling. VIX ticked up modestly to 18.67 (+0.48%), reflecting mild caution. USD/KRW fell -0.62% to 1,464.88, hinting at softer dollar demand.
■ Takeaway
Today’s divergence — positive breadth against a red Nasdaq — underscores how narrow the chip-driven weakness was, even as software and industrials broadened participation. 📊
