📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
US stocks slumped after the Fed’s hawkish hold, with the Dow off 2.19% to 51,594.14, the S&P 500 down 1.52% to 7,316.15, and the Nasdaq sliding 1.74% to 24,442.94. The real damage was in chips: the PHLX Semiconductor Index cratered 5.33% to 10,447.49, dragging Applied Materials (-8.4%), Caterpillar (-6.9%), AMD (-5.5%), Intel (-5.1%) and Qualcomm (-4.4%) lower — a rout that should weigh on Asian chip names at the open. Software and energy bucked the trend, with Intuit (+6.4%), Adobe (+5.7%), Salesforce (+3.8%), ExxonMobil (+2.4%) and Chevron (+2.3%) posting solid gains.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was firmly negative, with large caps splitting 14 advancers to 26 decliners. VIX spiked 13.45% to 20.66, signaling a genuine risk-off shift rather than a narrow pullback. The won strengthened, with USD/KRW down 1.40% to 1,443.87, reflecting broader dollar softness amid the volatility.
■ Takeaway
Today’s selloff was concentrated in semis and industrials while software and energy held firm, so headline index losses actually understate how uneven the damage was beneath the surface. Rising volatility alongside falling breadth points to continued caution ahead. 📉
