📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
US stocks closed out a banner week with fresh records: the S&P 500 hit 7,757.64 (+0.62%) and Nasdaq surged 1.30% to 26,690.62, fueled by a blistering 2.56% pop in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index to 12,356.79 — a signal likely to lift Asian chip names overnight. The Dow lagged with a modest 0.28% gain to 54,036.93. Qualcomm (+4.7%), Salesforce (+3.2%) and Tesla (+2.8%) led large-cap gainers, while Texas Instruments and Oracle also chipped in solid advances.
■ Flows & Breadth
Breadth was healthy but not unanimous: 26 advancers versus 14 decliners among the 40 large-caps tracked. Notably, AMD slipped 1.2% even as the broader SOX rallied hard — a divergence worth flagging. Payments and cyclicals underperformed, with Mastercard (-2.3%), Visa (-2.2%) and Caterpillar (-1.7%) among the laggards. VIX eased to 14.90 (-1.65%), reflecting calmer sentiment, while the won firmed as USD/KRW fell 0.96% to 1,407.45.
■ Takeaway
Fading rate-hike fears and a resilient jobs narrative kept risk appetite alive, with chips and mega-cap tech doing the heavy lifting despite AMD’s odd underperformance. 📈
