SOXS is trading at $52.43 (+6.96%) as rising bond yields pressure semiconductor valuations.
- Global bond yields surged, led by Japan’s 10-year yield reaching 3%, pressuring growth and semiconductor valuations.
- Renewed U.S.-Iran conflict lifted oil prices and inflation concerns; hawkish Fed expectations increased the likelihood of a September rate hike to roughly 60%.
