ASML is trading at $1486.48 (+3%) in pre-market, extending yesterday's gains as positive JOLTS data fuels hopes for Fed rate cuts and boosts the broader semiconductor sector.
- The move follows a 4.09% rally in the previous session, with Nasdaq futures (NQ) currently up 0.72% amid improving market sentiment.
- Sector-wide momentum remains strong, driven by significant gains in peers like AMD and recent calls from ASML's CEO for stronger EU chip industry protections.
