📝 US Market Wrap
■ Market Overview & Leaders
US benchmarks closed modestly lower as rising oil prices and Treasury yields kept investors on edge. The S&P 500 slipped 0.06% to 7,753.11, the Nasdaq fell 0.32% to 26,605.36, and the Dow eased 0.11% to 53,975.98. The real story was semis: the PHLX Semiconductor Index tumbled 2.94% to 11,993.86, dragged by Intel (-4.1%), Qualcomm (-3.4%), Applied Materials (-3.2%), NVIDIA (-2.9%) and AMD (-2.9%) — a slide likely to weigh on Asian chip names overnight. Energy shone instead, with Chevron (+4.5%) and ExxonMobil (+4.4%) leading gainers alongside Eli Lilly, Adobe and Netflix.
■ Flows & Breadth
Despite the flat-to-negative index prints, breadth was actually constructive: large-caps advanced 25-to-15. That divergence suggests the SOX-driven chip rout masked broader resilience elsewhere. The VIX rose 3.76% to 15.46, signaling a modest pickup in hedging demand, while the dollar softened slightly against the won (1,417.70, -0.32%).
■ Takeaway
Headline indices understate underlying strength given positive breadth, but semiconductor weakness remains the key swing factor to watch into Asia’s open. 📉
